I would like to start learning how to program for WM6, does anyone have links or something to some good tutorials? I downloaded the sdk and am looking through the tutorials, but they are a bit confusing for someone with not a lot of windows programming experience
thanks
well could anyone recommend a good book then or something? would it be more beneficial for me to buy a windows programming book instead, and learn that first?

The most programs are developed in C# or C++. I think it's wise to understand the basisc of this language by online tutorials. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Getting started with .NETCF is pretty easy, just google it. But going the native route (which I'm an avid supporter of), although a bit harder, can be accomplished by closely following this tutorial:
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
It's a regular windows desktop tutorial, but all the code and examples found in this tutorial can be compiled in the exact same fashion for Windows Mobile devices!
Good Luck!
EDIT:
I agree with jurma. It's always better to learn C/C++ as a good base, ESPECIALLY if you intend to do win32 programming. You'll be lost without it .
awesome guys, thank you so much. i already have experience with writing apps with ISO/ANSI C++, but its the windows side that confuses me, as i have no experience with win32 programming or with c++/CLI. i will look over those links, and google for info about the compact framework, although i do like the idea of going native
thanks again!
Recently, I felt inspired and I want to begin to try and create Android Applications, Widgets, and games. However, I have no idea what language it's written in and if there's a specific book that would help me plz link me to it.
Also, what language is it written in? lol
Thnx guys
Probably a good idea to do a search (xda or google) before posting threads like this, which there are already hundreds exactly the same.
Android apps are written in Java. There quite a few threads about android books on this forum.
Start with the sdk documentation and examples here.
Don't expect it to be super easy, there isn't a website, book or tutorial that is going to teach you to write awesome apps in 20mins. It will take time.

First you will need to learn Java. This is a great book for that purpose: http://www.headfirstlabs.com/books/hfjava/
I learned Java with it myself. It is good for beginners and in no way reading it is boring!

i know basics of java allready used on other things but until now i never made an android application.

There's a good series of 200 video tutorials for beginners made by thenewboston, it's quite good and it will show you how to build a dozen different applications with different purposes (i.e a stopwatch, an internet browser etc...). It will give you the basics of the Android APIs & the xml part of the job along the way.
Plus they're short videos so you can watch one when you have a few minutes anytime.
Here's the playlist with the 200 videos : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j4prh3NAZE&playnext=1&list=PL33384E9848C4F55E&feature=results_main
I've looked through several books for beginners, and I think "Hello, Android" by Ed Burnette is the easiest to start with.
Hi guys. I want to develop applications for mobile devices (mostly android). I have several ideas for useful apps. But I know little about programming. In what language do I start? I need tips, please.

It doesn't really matter what approach you take if you're new to programming, as there is no easy method. It will all take time and learning on your part, but can be a great journey if you're truly interested in it.
Since you're starting from scratch, I'd say learn Java as that's the language used for native Android apps. There are alternatives, but that will always be the most sensible approach.
Here's a good place to start, and great for valuable resources further down the line...

Hi,
Since you are preferring android development, start up with learning Java. There are tons of good books and tutorials available to learn Java.
Learn those concepts and then head over to developers.android.com to start up with android. You might be able to start with it instantly without learning much in Java but you might have a hard time understanding the workaround. So I suggest you learn Java then android development.
For Java:
Books: The complete Reference Java 2 by Herbert Schildt.
Tutorials: You can try , docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java
For Android:
Tutorials and reference: developers.android.com
For books I mainly followed books from wrox publication. But developers.android.com is a great start
Hi everyone,
some days ago, i was substancially forced to join an Android project by my professor.
The fact is that his course was about C++ (your equivalent of that course should be Compuer Science II, and i have a good knowledge of C++), and this project is in Java. I have a little experience in Java (in fact, one of the courses that i am attending is focused on Java). Now, i think that in order to be a Computer Science engineer i have to fit myself to the situation ( i have some docs about the project) but i have no experience in Android app development and a very little knowledge of XML, so i ask you some help :good:.
What i have to do is to realize some GUI for his application. It is not very difficult, but i have no idea about from where i have to begin. In these 2 days i have managed to start some very simple application from Eclipse on my smartphones, but that's all, nothing more. So, is there any book or (better) some short guide or video to follow?
I use, as IDE, Eclipse (because i usually use it for Cpp, but some people said me that Android Studio should be better). I know that Eclipse is a really god IDE (For Cpp i tried also CodeBlocks, VisualStudio and Netbeans), but i know too that it raises some error that newbie user could not managed to solve easily: one of them is a java.lang.nullPointerException raised in every main.xml file...
Moreover, the project has to connect to a IBM Bluemix-stored database.
Last but not least please share a comment about my English (that, i have to admit, is not very good). I would really like to know how it - really - is.
(Excepting the typo in the thread title).
So, i ask you to kindly share resources (video, guides ...) about realizing GUI in Android.
Well first i'd recommend using android studio since it is the official ide for android by google, and I have worked with eclipse for 2 years and the android plugin is just too buggy.
About designing the ui it is usually done in xml rather than in code since its more intuitive and there is a preview.
You should start learning the basics and from there they teach you how to design the ui.
Try the official guide in the google developers section for android "developers android training"
Are you talking about https: //developer .android.com /training/index .html ?
Yes exactly, they have some nice guides there.
Here is a very nice guide for creating your first app in Android Studio: http://www.raywenderlich.com/78574/android-tutorial-for-beginners-part-1
Here is a layout tutorial: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android-user-interface-design-layout-basics--mobile-3671
Here is a compilation of Android beginners tutorials: http://www.sitepoint.com/12-android-tutorials-beginners/
If you give a more focused description of what you are trying to achieve (what are you intending to display and how do you want to display it), more focused tutorials can be suggested.
Best of luck

You can take a look at vogella web site tutorials
They have very usable tutorials, easy to understand.
Thanks everyone, i'll give a look to these resources
