Hi folks ,

i started to learn some programming languages (i do love programming

) but the thing is i don't know what language to start with , so i get some books about java and python , actually am doing great on those two .

I need ur experience on this field , i wanna some advices about what books can turn me from noob to professional ,

also i do need to know what applications and plugins i can use to write & compile the programs
am using PyGTKeditor , nano and ipython to do this !
But it so bad when dealing with the java applications !!!!

thanks in advance !

I'd suggest C++ and Qt/QML.

Python is very good since it is well integrated in the system, if you need to do faster programs then you need to download and install scratchbox and work with C ( =Gnu C Compiler )

You can also connect to you N900 over (local) network with ssh (you can use Putty for this on Windows) and use a CLI editor (vi, vim, nano,...) with a big window on you computers screen + real keyboard to edit the files on your N900.

You can get very far with only python and when you know how the n900 works in python then you also know what you need for learning C ,but it isnt necessary to learn C unless you are going to do stuff that really needs the speed.
Personally i have used PyGTKeditor, it is very simple but fits me very well, but you can use which texteditor you want, pythonprograms are just textdocuments.

Beginners guide:

PyGTK tutorial, very good reference.

Some N900 specific addons to GTK

Python is quite similar to Basic (and Pascal) in its syntax without any unnecessary brackets, semicolons, etc. Some people even call it "executable pseudocode".

See one of the posts above for nice Python programming examples.
