hello people !

i m very new to this forum, and also know nothing about the linux, or programming in linux (or any other programing).
but i love n900. and i m willing to learn what ever is needed to fully utilize my device.
i have a suggestion for people like me.
Is is possible to have a thread just for tutorials that can teach us, about commands in xterminal etc, and how to install certtain features as debian, etc the require some expertise, in a manner that not only enable us to use the features but also help us learn how they work.


thanx

I agree that more tutorials wouldn't hurt. I think the solution for this is to improve the Maemo wiki and advertise it more.

I would recommend going through the wiki for topics that interest you. If the wiki doesn't contain what you're looking for, ask (this forum, mailing lists, irc). Maybe someone will write a wiki page about the topic in addition to answering your questions.

If you're interested in shell scripting I suggest looking at the Linux documentation project's Bash guide for beginners. Please note that Maemo is not using bash, but the basics are mostly the same. For available build-in commands in xterm type help.

If you want to write applications for Maemo I'd suggest looking into python or Qt.

You only learn by doing

http://wiki.maemo.org/Category:Beginners

read that first. after that:

DISCLAIMER: http://wiki.maemo.org/Templateanger

and

http://wiki.maemo.org/Category:Power_users

no, we won't spoonfeed you because you don't even know what you want to do. we can make wiki articles better if you find something wrong/lacking/otherwise not so good content there.
