I'm familiar with windows programming but haven't developed for Linux before. I have read documantation found on maemo and setup the development environment on ubuntu through vmware.
I know where to find info for how to use the GUI (hildon), but where do i found info on how to use socket communication over wifi?

Also, if i got it right scratchbox doesn't include any IDE? What code editors are recomended?

standard linux socket programming applies...

Yep, the program is ignorant of the physical layer, it does not care if it is wifi, USB, or bluetooth.

Lots of good socket books but I like "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Comer.

Thanks, i have founds some links on unix socket programming so i will probably get started this weekend. My project is to make a interactive remote control for home automation on my 770. The screen is so much better than any PDA i have seen.
As i wrote scratchbox is up and running and untill i found a decent IDE i will use VI writing my code...
