[Q] Create WP7 apps

I'm sorry for this question, but: How difficult is create an app, when my knowledge of programing languages (C#, C++) is very very very low? I want create something like xda app for forum, when I must get informations from another server. Like curl in PHP.

Well it's not easy unless you have experience of C#/VB.NET and the .NET Framework to be honest.
I can see what you're trying to do but there isn't a simple way of going about it (yet).
I would recommend downloading the Microsoft Visual Studio Express tools (http://www.microsoft.com/express).
Then you will need the software development kit (SDK):
http://create.msdn.com/en-gb?WT.mc-id=src-c-gb-Non-wp7-F1-
Download the free tools which includes projects that let you build Windows Phone 7 apps and run them on a WP7 emulator on your PC (not sure if this SDK works with the Express version of Visual Studio as I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium).
Finally check out some forums, search on google for some tutorials...You will want to learn about Silverlight and WPF for sure if you want to build anything productive on WP7 OS.
Good luck.

Visual studio and SDK tools already have. I watched many videos and read many tutorials, but something, like curl function not found it. Or I find with bad question. Or source code with this function maybe help me. Anyway, thanks for respond. I appreciate it.

Where should I start if I wanted to start developing ROMs?

I have coding experience in C++ and windows programming languages, but I haven't a clue about android. I tried searching google and this forum for a good master thread or even a book, but haven't had much luck.
Can anyone help me out?

that was my post and still no replys

First of all, learn and become comfortable with Java. If you're not comfortable with Java you're going to have some problems since besides the c libraries/kernel the android source is Java/XML.
Second, you need to decide if you're going to be messing with pre-built ROMs (or RUUs or whatever) or the actual AOSP. Actual AOSP is the actual source code but if you're modding a pre-built ROM you're going to have to also learn how to deal with smali code (which as far as I know is basically machine code [if you know what that is]).. Eris has a pretty good guide-in-progress which I'll find and post here later if I can.
It's a lot of work and a lot of looking and learning and not very clear. I have a lot of respect for the people who do it a lot I'm thinking of dabbling soon...

[Q] Help choosing apps

Hy everyone, this is my first post. Im a recent owner of a TF300T, and I work in Game Development. I use Visual Studio 2012, Blender, GIMP, and DirectX. I wanted to know what apps could I get, what do you guys recomend. I dont know exactly whats on the market today. For example, a remote debugger would be great, to give an example.
Thanks in advance.

Biggest debug used is Logcat. Most of the time set up along with eclipse IDE for Java.

Thanks for that, gonna check it out, but i think theres a small confussion. I don't develop for android, I develop for windows.
PS: I code in C++ 11 and DirectX 11

Because you said you worked as a developer, I guessed you wanted apps that could aid you with that.
So here are a few that I could think of:
Air Display: use your tablet as a second monitor. Maybe you can display log info in that screen. I haven't tested this one, but heard it works well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avatron.airdisplay
Team Viewer: allows you to access your computer from your tablet, so it could be useful in a situation you only have your tablet and want to get things done.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.teamviewer.market.mobile
Space Draw: it's a 3D modeling program for Android. Never used it myself, so I am not sure how it works.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scalisoft.spacedraw
SketchBook Pro for Tablets: tool for drawing on the go. I like this application a lot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adsk.sketchbookhd
If you want recommendations of apps for other applications, you can try to search the web for lists of must have apps.
Here is a good example:

[REQUEST FOR HELP] Coding Help

Hello guys, I decided to get serious into learning Java today, and I need someone to help me understand everything about Java included coding, the different folders in the coding process. (Basically, all things Java.) I searched Google without any result. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm still in school, and I don't have much for time for Java, so I need someone (preferably) somewhere around my time zone (GMT+8) or night owl to adjust to my time. YouTube videos are welcome too.
P.S. I don't have a computer, so coding and research and everything happens on my Note 2.

Thanks, but the vids on the page aren't all that mobile friendly, and I'm not buying any books. I'm trying to make my learning process as inexpensive as possible.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

For a really basic start you could use something like ConTEXT: http://www.contexteditor.org/downloads/ . After installing a java sdk and adding the java/bin folder to your path (environment) variable you can set up Context to compile and run your opened java files.
I myself quickly switched to Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/keplersr1 . This has many more features like auto-complete/suggestions etc. If you want to create apps for the android dalvik platform you can download the ADT plugin for eclipse: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html . From there you can download the android sdk and start using the android build platform.
For basic introduction to java and object oriented programming i found this for object oriented programming: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/java/J3a_OOPBasics.html . Basic java tutorials are easy to find with google anyways. I also looked at the courses i had in university but they are in dutch so probably not of use.
Just start working through tutorials and do fool around a bit to find out how some things work. Don't start to early on android sdk because i found the android system quite a challenge to grasp, took me about 2 weeks . I already had on that point quite a bit of experience with java.

Just read your second PS. I think it is hard to really learn java if you don't have a computer to use. I myself learned the most by just fooling around with code
