getting started in programing for WM6. pls advise

hi folks,
i love my phone and will like to contribute...
i studied years ago turbo pascal but i figured that programing languages basically have similar flows?
i will like to seek advise from pros on how do i get started?
can i
1) know what programing language or tools do i need?
2) know what are the usual errors or problems so that my climb will be easier?
i am really sincere and i hope the pros can take some time to advise me...
yours

I would say, the easiest way to do some application pgrogramming, is to use the Visual Studio 2008(Tool) and C#(language). The platform is .Net framework 3.5.
You can download the latest Windows Mobile emulators, and use it along with Visual studio to test and debug your programs. Once you are satisfied with the program, you can build the cab using Visual Studio(which you can install on the real windows mobile device).
Please post specifics if you need more info. I am sure most of the poeple here are willing to help!

Please try the search function before posting even though this is the Q&A section

sorry bro . . .

its fine, just figured you might find a little information quicker there

ok specific Q can i rely solely on "WYSIWYG" interface? rather than hardcode like C etc?

Nope. Solely WYSIWYG won't get you anywhere.
But you can use it. For example the CompactFramework.Net (CF.Net) has a WYSIWYG interface, but the underlying functionality you'll have to write yourself.
If that is what you meant...

VB.net make PNG transparent as in PS

Importent: This Question is about VisualBasic.net!!!
Perhaps anyone can say me how to display a PNG-Picture including the Alpha-Blend i have described in Photoshop. perhaps it is possible to create an C++ file (.dll-File) where are calsses to read an convert the PNG-Files...
i think Daze has done this, but i don't have a reply yet. So perhaps i can create an other Programm to simplify the "TodayScreen"
thanks,
Best regards,

Changing Bootsequence

I would like to develop software for my Kaiser that when the phone is powered it will only, and I mean only, send out a text message to a pre-programmed number. I would like to know how difficult this would be to implement and if you could link me to any guides of programming this. I am familiar with C, C++, and Java so hopefully tackling the programming language of the Kaiser would not be too cumbersome. I'm not asking for someone to do this for me, I'm just asking for help and assistance to where I would find documentation about the Windows Mobile Operating System to do so. Thank you.

maybe the simplest wayt woiuld be to put the program into autostart?
you'll still have a ptoblem with hard reset/flash though...

This is wrong section dude.

Could you possibly point me to the right section?

Silly question

This feels like a silly question but I was wanting to start developing apps for my HTC Tilt (AT&T Kaiser) and I wasn't sure what language it even uses, I was going to assume C#, but I want to check with you guys before I start learning a language just to find out I learned the wrong one for my phone
Thanks in advance!

Mainstream development is C# or VB if you are using the .NET Compact Framework or C/C++ to use the older but faster Win32 programming model, or its ATL or MFC templates.
