[Q] Create WP7 apps - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] How do you do what you do ???

Hi Guys,
a complete noobie question, but i have tried looking.
How do you guys write the code for the apps you create.
I found some threads (linked) that say i need visual studio and i write them in C....
and then i need a CAB writer to get them on to my device.. Is this all ? How would you do stuff like integrate the touch screen into what you do or get info of the web etc...

I'm an oracle dba so i'm not adverse to learning how this works but i'm pretty old school age wise so i wonder how some of you guys got started and into this.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
bump. I would love to hear some shortcuts and the a quick how-to on developing from some of the great devs we have on here.
You need the android sdk for starters and eclipse 3.5 galileo. Theme guide in my signature shows how to set them up. Writing apps will be done in java not c. A majority of the android os is done in java as well with a mid later of jni linking to a lower level of c for very few things such as hardware. Search online when it comes to app development theres plenty of resources

[Q] What programming skills are needed to develop app for windows phone 7?

What programming skills are needed to develop apps for windows phone 7?
I don't know anything about programming but I have a lot of free time.
I've read a few threads but I've just ended up with a headache. I know that an understanding of C# and the .NET platform are required and this book was suggested:
Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform by Andrew Troelsen,
but it's not for beginners. What other programming knowledge/experience is required before getting into a book like this?
Lots of a detail would be appreciated and any recommendations of books would be welcome.
I would like some info on this as well. i am a student of computer programming and would like to learn to develop for Windows Phone as one of my specialties. Im merely a beginner so a full out start-from-scratch advise would be appreciated

So... My research still has turned out to be inconclusive. Maybe learning C before C# and .NET would help? Any idea? Anyone?
I like Bob Tabor tutorials:

or:

Maybe is too easy for you.

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...

Windows 7 Launcher Official Thread

Just downloaded the Android SDK.
So, I'm going to make a launcher that looks JUST LIKE Windows 7. It's going to be completely free.
Where should I start? I have very limited coding knowledge (basics of Java and C++ and almost all of Visual Basic)
I know what things look like in my mind, it's just a matter of putting it together.
Any help is much appreciated and a thanks is guaranteed.
There is actually a thread somewhere on XDA that teaches you how to make a basic launcher

I found one, but it does youtube and the library computer I'm using doesn't do youtube
Here's my situation: I have no home computer so I downloaded the SDK and Eclipse and am running the software (as well as Chrome) off of my phone's SDcard. I searched and found no decent tutorials that were not confusing.
