+ | == Getting started with N900 development == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow.. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own. | ||
