Hi, I am looking to develop windows mobile apps for my HTC HD2 and I was wondering if there is a free online course or some places that I can learn everything I need to know to start developing ASAP, I hope to become good at this and I will be posting on the forums frequently but can someone help me out? It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me some links.

ASAP? you could also begin with Visual Basic. thats Easy to learn and quite powerful.
hey yo techburrow i am really new to smartphones and apps. i got my hd2 less than a month ago...but i feel the same way...it feels like it's really underground to learn and teach this stuff. i wish i new someone to teach me some of it...but i have learned more on this topic at this site in a week than anywhere else. it is truly wonderful. have you tried wikipedia for more info? i wish this site had a "xda term dictionary". i'm having trouble just figuring out what words mean...but maybe they do and i haven't found it yet. good luck...your first app should be for people llike you who want to know how to build there own apps and don't know how. "myappbuilder" or something...peace.

P.S. Don't expect to learn all this stuff overnight, it's a long hard slog to become any good at it. Even then you'll still find room for improvement.
Good luck and don't give up.
Join some good school....

wow impressive...such a larg collection of market alternatives..
Suggestion: u could create a poll so that users can vote which beter than the others
Most of these are third party apps that look for the apps you want in the google market and I know at least one of these, GoMarket is in Chinese? These are not alternate markets WTF

Most indeed are just an alternative interface to the normal market. The others are mostly manufacturer or operator specific versions.

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Thanks for posting these alternative markets. If you had a short description of them, I'd be much more willing to download.
And davied actually gave you constructive criticizm, no need to attack him.

Your Welcome...
There's Just A Certain Way To Say Things, To Say I'm Not Smart & Say I'm Basically Sh.t'n On Whoever Made The Apps, To Me Just Rubbed Me Wrong! Truth Is I've Downloaded Thousands Of Apps!!
I'm Not Trying To Intentionally Discredit The Developers, But In My Mind I'm Almost Doing Them A Favor, By Promoting Their Work!!
No Disrespect....
If Anyone Knows Who Developed These Apps PM Me, & I'll Be More Than Willing To Give Them 100% Of The Credit!!
Me, Myself....
In "NO" Way!!
Is Trying To Take or Receive Credit For Anything, Just Simply Shared A Few Apps, Never Realized It Would Turn Out So Controversial!!

I think daveid or whatever was mostly pointing out that the way you type is annoying and difficult to read, as in don't uppercase every word. Just say what you want to say.
On topic, thanks for this but I don't want to go downloading 16 apks and installing a bunch of things without knowing what they actually are... can anybody tell me what is worth my time that has tried these?

Hold on.....all sarcasm aside, im really curious.
you posted a lot of things here, and the way your OP makes it sound is that these apps (or "Market Alternatives" as you call them), offer apps that you cannot get on the android market. Is this correct? Or are these, in fact, just another place to get the same apps that are on the Android Market??
Let's ask this different; Have you tried some of the alternative markets? And did you stick to anyone of them?
I totally agree there are a lot of things that could be improved in the stock market, but I'm not going to try all the versions you've posted Can we cross some of the list?

Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.

There's already tons of apps that can do this, try one of these.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/buzzbox-news-rss-google-reader/com.buzzbox.mob.android.news
http://www.appbrain.com/app/pulse-news-reader/com.alphonso.pulse
Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
How much you willing to pay?
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users
That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

Really I will pay if someone will make this! I can get it on the market I just need the app made.
Hoping to keep it low and because of that I know it will not look the best. I just want some thing that works.
Thanks

my facebook profile so you can message me if you are willing to help . just make it a link .
Help please !
This is really the wrong forum for this thread - I suggest a mod moves it to the Software development forum.
In addition, you're gonna have provide more details than that to get anyone's interest
Casey
Additionally, any software dev who has looked at the development classifieds, especially for web devs or mobile apps, has learned to be *very* skeptical of this kind of thing. If you really want to get anybody of quality, you're going to have to provide a good reason. "[We are] going to make an social networking site and to make it more popular we are going to make a mobile version of it" kind of screams "RUN AWAY!" to anybody not absolutely desperate.
That's not to say the idea is bad or the job will suck, but that's the way it comes across. You really need to sell the concept a *lot* better.
LOL Guys, before answering or discussing, check posted fb profile. They are children
