learn to make program.

good day!
can anybody please tell me what to use and how to make a program for a PPC?
i just want to learn.
thanks a lot.

- Microsoft eMbedded Visual c++ 4.0 (IDE)
- Microsoft PPC 2003 SDK
Thats for c++ development. Can also do VB if you like.
A device for testing is handy as well... and some patience.

or visual studio 2003 .net if you want to do .net applications
here are some links to pocketpc code examples

Perhaps the best tool to make PPC apps is NsBasic http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/

Hi,
i'm not a developer but i can say that Java J2ME is not very used on pocketpc platform (many PPC do not even have any java support). If you wanna develop managed code then go for .Net (vb or c#) or you can make native applications in c++. The problem is you'll need to buy MS Visual Studio (unluckily, the free Visual Studio Express doesn't support mobile devices). AFAIK
Bye

try using search for J2ME
you'll find tons of posts about it
most likely an url to where you can download the wm too

development environment?

hi
i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some decent but free development tools for wm5
thanks

embedded visual c++
you can also get free compilers like gcc and a .net compiler which run on the pocketpc itself
but it's hardly en ide

Depends on what language you want to code. For instance I couldn't find a decent assembly IDE yet (free or not). For C++/C# (managed and unmanaged) VS2005 is probably still the best. And the epxress versions can be obtained for free. Integration of embedded stuff would have to be done manually, I guess.

well i prefer programming in c/c++ so are there any free tools/IDEs for it?
don't i have to pay for embedded vc++ or is there a free version that lets me program for wm5?

oh and i downloaded the express c++ but when i want to instal the wm5 sdk it tells me it needs visual studio 2005

PSPad is awsome, and free.

hey thanks for the reply but that's not for windows mobile 5 development
i really need something free for windows mobile 5 development
if anyone could help i would appreciate it
thanks

Ok little clarification:
a) You don't need WM5 SDK to develop apps that will run on WM5 and use its special features. You will just have to work a little harder and use LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress for functions not supported in WM2003. Also you can manually unpack the SDK installation and use the binaries and header files (this is VJ's advice I have yet to test it).
b) There is no version of eVC for WM5 because MS switched to Visual Studio. The express version does not support mobile development in any way. I always use eVC 4 this not only works fine for WM5 apps but also insures backward compatibility and saves me keeping two separate projects for one app.

I agree with levenum, as ever.
You don't NEED VS2005 if you're only developing in C++ (which you should be). I don't think VS2005 offers enough over EVC for me to spend a gazillion $$ on it as a hobby programmer. However, you can get VS2005 on trial for free from MS if you feel the need to try it out.
Also - EVC only requires a small number of mbs of space (great to stick on a USB). VS2005 is > 1gb from memory

thank you for your replies
i will do as you suggested
thanks

one last question:
does anyone know if there is an SDL sdk for wm5?

Hi,
There is an open source IDE for .net that supports (v2.2.1 only) the compact framework 2.0 : http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/.
I'm using it for windows coding and it's a very good soft.

so i can install that programs on my ppc and program with them ?
can i also compile and run the programs that i make with that list ?

no those are pc tools to make programs for pocketpc
if you wanna compile on the pocketpc itself(maybe a bit slow as 400Mhz arm cpu is not really faster then 120Mhz pentium cpu)
