Hello Maemo!
I've been browsing this forum for more than a year, mainly because I'm interested in the Nokia N900, but I don't own one yet. I'm also interested in developing new applications, I already have some good ideas but I don't know anything about programming languages. I used to make simple flash games in actionscript 2, but I can't do anything other than a bouncy ball which you can play with using the mouse. Where do I start? What programming languages do I need to learn to develop Maemo5 or Meego applications? I am willing to spend months on learning how to make the N900 better
Can you also give me some links to tutorials?
Thanks in advance

For beginners to programming, python is often recommended.

You can practice your general programming and computer science skills with python and you will also be able to program for maemo/meego with python.

Here's a noobs tutorial for programming (in general) and python (in particular): http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/

Here's the official python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

And here's an MIT course, including video lectures, in computer science using python (even if they use python, it's not for learning python, but for learning concepts of computer science): http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical...deos/index.htm

It is, indeed.

When I ordered the N900 I asked anyone I know what I could code. It's useless to have programming skills and no Idea what to do with them

Thanks! I will read through those! The first thing that I will try to make is a menu template which I will use as a root for future projects. brb, reading
