Newbee need direction

2009-01-07 Thread Robin Häggqvist
Hello
Im a newbee. And would love some help to get in the right direction. I have
looked in to pascal(not very useful but good fun) and java(really basic)
when I was in school but that was a few years ago. Im most intrested in
developing small useful application for the freerunner and as a sideproject
will look in to making apps for the Iphone but that is a side project since
I dont have a Iphone yet and its a diffrent story.

Should I start with the developers guide on the openmoko.org or go and buy a
book? Any learn to sites on the web?

What lanugare should I start with?

Does it matter what OS im using on my computer? Im using Ubuntu 8.10.

Im so close to give it up now :-(. I have read
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_developer_guide but its many roads
and I seem to get lost or stuck every where I go.

I suggest starting by describing your proposed application here.  I'm
sure people will make comments and suggestions that will allow you to
develop the specification and design.

 What lanugare should I start with?

Probably C or Python - but you don't necessarily need to worry about
that yet anyway.

 Neil

Hello Robin and Openmoko community:

My name is Juan Aranda, and I'm a OM newbie too. There shouldn't be any
problems with your Ubuntu 8.10 distribution. I'm using the Toolchain
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain). It tells you what packages
you need to install, how to set it up, etc. Then you should look back
into the link from your previous e-mail (by the way, thanks for that
link it helped a lot ;) ):
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Development_with_Eclipse.
If you need more help feel free to contact me.
