Oh, what a beautifully welcoming, helpful non-self-righteous attitude!!! Having a bad day?


Developing for this device is overly hard, and things just don't work properly. As a C# developer I'm used to a nice environment that works well and helps me be productive.. I chose Qt+MADDE and it was a serious uphill struggle to get it working (and no, it still doesnt have debugging helpers available despite itself claiming they are installed).. The whole development cycle needs to be simpler. If you start an internet search you get several ways of developing an app for the N900, and they require inordinate amounts of effort.

It should be as simple as: Download IDE, plug in N900 (or other device), do some quick config and then start working through Qt tutorials: there are hundreds of developers out there with good ideas and skills but they get put off easily because the door is too hard to open.

It's not cool to say "if youre too dumb to use google, we don't want you coding apps for our device"
