Hello. I am starting to learn how to develop apps for smartphones, i have tons of ideas but onlu basic knowlage in C++, java and other languages used for creating them. Could some one help me to decide for which platform i should start? I want to start from easiest developing interface (i liked iOS, wp7), cheapest price in order to publish my app and when you do answer please tell me why (other pluses that i didn't highlighted and minuses). Thank you for your help and if i posted on the wrong section please move my thread. Oh and i am a student so if there are any discounts like for wp7 free access for students then do mind that too
so noone can help me?
Not sure myself
But I think Dreamspark has the tutorials to help you develop and you can go form there, I am interested as well just don't have the time.

Well, you better join the MSDN Forums for that! They have thousands of HOW-TO's, code samples and as well videos online ... !
I have
I have looked on MSDN and everywhere, and all the tutorials are so advanced and I do not understand and I dont want to copy and paste I want to learn the language, I mean I want to make a dictionary program, is there any speccefic tutorial which can help me with it ???
that's true, there are a lot of people who want to enter this labor market, so the oldie are making such entrance barriers, try to target different platform
Hmmm, strange!
I am not sure if we talk about the same FORUMS.
The Forums I am talking about are not only 'advanced' but to 70 percent I see newbies asking the same questions over and over again, just like here.
Sure, it is not easier there to use the search than it is here. Simple advice: Start building your project; if you get stuck, post your question / problem in the MSDN Forums and wait ... somebody will sooner or later defenitely reply, if not, the MOD will try either to come up with a helpful advice or point you in the right direction.

Actually, the tools are the same as for normal Windows development. I use Visual Studio 2008 and you need to install the Windows Mobile 5 or 6 SDK.
Also debugging can be done right on your phone (via ActiveSync).
A good book is this one: Mobile Development Handbook
Hope that this helps in programming for Mobile phones. Have fun in your journey.
I want to give developing a shot and i want to start with gaming on android platform. Now i'm a bit confused in the world of android and SDK. So there are a couple of questions which i want a dev to answer ! (yes only a dev although i respect all people here but please i want serious help and i will mind any kind of silly comments).
-Which tools are necessary in developing a game? unity? if unity then some feedback would be really appreciated.
-Any other program built specially for game development (any kind) which doesn't require hard c++ or java coding?
as i'm still a college student and not aware of these two languages but i want to work on a game as my personal project over the summer so i want to collect all the tools and go over all kind of tutorials necessary.
Thanks in advance !

shad0w,
Trust me, you need to learn coding.
Since you want to start with Android, best bet is to either go throug android tutorials and examples and start to learn it, or, you could start with Java. My recommendation is that you start using Android basic coding tutorials:
http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=tutorial
This link also has good information to start learning:
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
The subject says most of it really. I'm looking for a book that will teach me to develop for the Android market. A book for beginners. The kind of book with lessons, tasks, examples etc..
I'm a complete novice when it comes to Android Development, I've no understanding of the Java programming language at all and only minimal xml knowledge. However I am very good with computers and learn quick, I've got the time the patience and the motivation + (a Samsung Nexus S & a HTC Desire S).
I know it takes time and practise but its something I really want to learn and have plenty of time on my hands at the moment.
I've done webdesign so understand html, css, online shopping carts etc.. not that that's going to help me a lot.
Maybe I'll need a couple of books one for Java and another for Android please provide your thoughts on this.
Any suggestions maybe with links (if allowed) would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

This is one of the least visited forums on this site but the more resourceful in my opinion...visit and read, ask and inquire.

I wasn't sure where anything like this would go, so I made sure to put it in a forum as general as possible.
I'm a beginning web designer, but seeing as I spend most of my free time on this site, I'm growing more of an interest in learning to code for the mobile platform. If anybody is willing to help, all I'm asking for is a few tips from developers here on where to begin.
I learned some very basic java in college, but was wondering if there is a better path to go on. Do I start with BASIC? Do I continue and go towards more advanced Java and stick with only one programming language?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
-Considering I've done almost everything that I can with my rooted EVO, all of you were the people I'd rather hear from. I appreciate all of the hard work that you all have done!
You can develop full market apps using the language I use called basic4android.
Its easy to use but very powerful, produces a native android apk (so no interpreters) and has regular updates.
There are free user contributed libraries that make it even better and it has been used to produce everything from live wallpapers and anti theft apps to games and gps software so is a good option to consider.
I wrote my first app after messing about with it for about an hour and was amazed how easy it makes things. Google basic4android and you will find its homepage for more info. I can't remember the address as it's saved as a bookmark on my pc not phone.
EDIT: did a google search and its at http://www.basic4ppc.com/

I'm New To Java Programming & Droid App Development - Seeking Advice/Thoughts Please!
Hello!
So I was hoping to get the advice on a few things regarding android app development from those of you are app developers. I am just now learning Java, learning Android Studios/IntelliJIDEA and I have no teacher (I use Lynda.com, TeamTreeHouse, and other resources) so I'd like to get the opinions and thoughts of others who have already created an app, do so all the time, or are working on their first app. In general, I am looking to get some answers from those who already know what to do and have done it before. I want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Or at the very least I want to be doing things the best possible way I can. So my questions:
What IDE do you use? (Android Studios/IntelliJ IDEA, Unity, etc)
Did you learn Java before building your First App?
Did you learn XML before Building your first App?
Where did you learn about the languages and technologies required? (Lynda.com, TeamTreeHouse.com, NewBoston, etc)
Are there any resources you can recommend to me as a beginner who has not yet built his first app?
If there is a question you can think of that I did not ask that might help please let me know.
Thank you for answering these questions!
I really want to make sure that I approach this the right way and that if I am going to commit myself to it I do so in a way that works, is tried, tested, and true. I want to make quality applications and I want to know what I'm doing while doing it. = )
Anyway, answering any of these questions would be truly helpful and I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
Regards,
DevelopDan
