I used to develop VB apps in VB.6 and made a couple custom apps that I'd love to get running on my brand new, nearly virgin Surface RT.
I am really liking the Surface RT, and can't understand what some people have against it.
That being said, I'd love to try programming on VB for my new toy. Is anyone able to guide me through how to set this up? I got Visual Studio 2012, I've jailbroken and updated my tablet. I'm excited to begin but I am such a newbie to this "new generation" programming that I am unsure how to start and what I can get working.
Will my old VB app just run on RT? what do I need to do to convert it?

guys, i need some help here. basically im a final year student and currently, im planning on my major project. i was thinking of designing a new phone (yes, a new phone) together with a user interface. would it be possible for me to design the entire user interface itself? lets say im working on a nokia phone and i plan to redesign the entire GUI. will that be extremely hard? lol cause my programming skills are just moderate compared to my designing.
Hy,
sorry but ... If i am right you want to do a windows mobile like gui for nokia phones???
I think its hard but if you have the skills you can do it!
Search the forum. There are many examples for iphone gui for windows mobile.
Greatz

You might want to look at some mobile Open Source OSs such as
Android, Symbian, OPhone, OpenMoko etc.

Hi all,
im really intersted in getting involved in programming and i hope to one day produce my own app/rom for winmo but as far as im aware you need ms visual studio for this? and im only a student but looking at the prices for ms visual studio i cant afford it! so im wondering is there an alternitive i could use to create programes?
Just got my Surface today. Totally new to this platform though but is eager to start developing on apps and so on right away. Anyone able to guide me through the development process of RT? :laugh:
Start by grabbing VisualStudio Express
https://www.touchdevelop.com/ can help maybe if you're at enty lvl app design.
Thanks for the tips guys!

There are some very good official tutorials on that site.
XDA wouldn't let me post this anywhere else. Don't rage.
Is it possible for someone to develop a port of CM7 to run on the microsoft surface, with dualboot or an application of some kind? I recently bought a surface, and am getting annoyed by the lack of good apps.
Would it be possible for any of you to write a version that could be run? I am physically incapable of writing code, so I could use some help.
Hey XDA members,
I have got a surface recently, and have looked into jailbreaking (I can't at the moment because 8.1 isn't jailbroken yet, but when it is I will jailbreak)
I have learnt that to run some x86 exes, they need to be ARM compiled, I want to learn how this is done, if someone could give me some pointers or give me a tutorial to look at, it would be greatly appreciated. One other question is what program is used (I think I saw someone talking about Visual C++ being used to compile but I'm not sure)
Thanks,
