Guest Palindrome Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 The idea of coding for the SPV sounds great. I'd love to do it but don't have a clue where to start. I was competent with the old languages, BASIC, Pascal etc. and I've a broad understanding of object orientated languages, C++ (well, I understand the general principals). How did you programmers out there learn your skills? Where can I get some info on SPV specific programming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HelloDave Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 First thing you need is the Microsoft SmartPhone SDK and embedded VC++ (300mb!) from their website (msdn.microsoft.com - can't remeber exact link!). This will allow you to compile and run apps for the phone. The best way to start learning SPV programming IMO is to learn Windows CE programming; smartphone is very similar (but no MFC), and look at the sample code that comes with the smartphone SDK. Obviously if you don't know any Windows specific programming at all it helps to know the basics before you tackle CE or SmartPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frijj2k Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 A good place to start is: Smartphone Developers Network Lots of beginners resources. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Palindrome Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Thanks for the advice and links. I'll see where those take me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 I thought c++ wasnt a proper object orientated language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 I thought C++ was a language in which you could do object oriented code if you wanted... but you often have to go the extra mile and it's very easy to not do object orientation. Java etc is much more about object orientation from the ground up and taking away a lot of the hard slog of building proper OO stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Palindrome Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 So is it possible to code for the SPV with Java? Even if it's just applets for IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bazz Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Nope. No Java VM not even for IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kpc Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 But wasn't there a mention of something similar a few weeks back?? Waba? Or am I completely mad? :wink: Would be great to get some thinglike Java on the Smartphone as I'm being forced to learn Java for my current OU course. And I love it. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
