Depends on the language you'd prefer.
C++ for symbian: Take the symbian kit
Java: ...guess which one to take

Other options are OLP (freeware, basic like, easy to use, editor/compiler for the 910 itself available!!)
or AppForge (daaammmnnnn expensive but the best solution
if you master VB/.NET)

Ah i forgot: For the latter two options, you don't really need
any kit, except for the emulator maybe.

But in the java, Can I only make .jar and .jad applications??

And, aren´t all Java applications on a P800/900/910 contrloled with the blue thing that appears (if you know what I mean??)

I don´t want my apps to have the blue controlling thing! I just want them like the other apps for P800/900/910.

Do I then need to learn C++??

Is it enough to read the Documents which comes with the symbian kit to learn c++????

Thanks

.jar files are a way of compressing all of the required components of a java application (the main code, classes, graphics etc.) into a single file can then be uncompressed and run by the java runtime component in your phone so yes, it would involve 'the blue thing', which I assume is the java runtime app.

It's unlikely that you would be able to learn C++ from the symbian dev kit documentation alone since these usually only contain instruction definitions and simple example code that is specific to the symbian API.

In other words, it won't teach you the basics of C++, it just goes straight into the advanced stuff that is specific to the symbian API.

lol. good luck. it takes about a year if you like it and you are smart to master c++. If you know some programming will be easyer.

Most people find it easier to learn C first, becuase then it's very very quick and easy to convert to C++. Most C++ tutorials assume that you already know C.

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/c.htm

This is a very basic but surprisingly usefull introductory tutorial on C programming.

http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutoria1/l/blctutorial.htm

One of my favourite tutorials, more involved but still very usable.

The best books are, in my opinion, the famous 'programming for dummies' series. There's several books in the series covering just about all languages (including C and C++) and you can get them from just about anywhere (including your local library maybe!)

It's also worth mentioning that a lot of APIs can be accessed using C as well as C++, so maybe C can be used for symbian programming.

ok.. I know a little bit in java, so I should learn C next, can I use C making UIQ applications???

Quote:I know a little bit in java, so I should learn C nextKnowing C definitely helps understanding C++ a lot (basics are same).Quote:can I use C making UIQ applications?You can embed C code in UIQ apps, but the "surface" of the program must be in C++.
