?s on Creating a WM6 app from an XP app

Hey all, newbie here!
Let me just say that this is a great forum and you guys do wonders to borring phones...
I am interested in learning how to build an app for PPC. I have a program I use for work and would love to try and port it over. Can someone send me links and just basic info on how to get started?
Just a background, I am in IT and have programming so I am not a newbie to that world, just phone apps.
Thanks for any advice and keep up the awesome work. Timmay!!!

Do you have access to the source code of the program you want to port over? What is it written in?

First advice is that you should use the search function!
I did one search for programming in here (Themes, Applications and Software) and got this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425752&highlight=programming
also, try looking in 'Development and Hacking'

good luck with the development... hope to see some nice apps from u soon

How to make apps?

Hi,
I know this is a broad question but I am interested in developing apps. I am a complete novice and I know it may take me a while to learn but after my exams I have months of doing nothing and I would like to get started.
Does anybody have any ideas where to start. Anything to read? Software?
Thank you

you will have to learn java first (or C++) if you are compleatly new to programing you could start with these...

Ready Made Andriod Apps

Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:

Good luck!

Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated

If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.
