Programming

[Guest george7]

Hi, for part of my 6th year computing course, I have been given the task of writing an application. I have chosen to write a smartphone application, but I was wondering:

1. Which language are smartphone programs written in?

2. Which program should I use to write these programs (ie. could I use Visual Basic?)

3. Is there any tutorials that could give me a helping hand?

Thanks

Try the Smartphone Development forums, but:

1) Generally: Embedded C++, C#, VB.net

2) Generally: Embedded C++, Visual C#, VB.net

3) There are some good resources on MSDN.

best to use Visual Studio.NET (vb.net or C#) - much easier and better :)

Thanks, is there alot of difference between visual studio.net and visual basic 6?

Is visual studio.net easy to use?

Visual Studio .net is just a collection of the applications (VC++, VC#, VB.net).

VB.net is quite different to VB 6 in many ways, but the syntax is similar and it comes with tools and information to help you port existing VB6 applications over.
