Hi mates, i need an advice about programing a simple app for WM6 actually for my Diamond, which should #include :) a simple main menu with settings, and most important a Homescreen plugin to show some text depending on a time of a day, and maybe some pics(small pics)
so here is the question, what coding programe would you recommend me to use? i know C and Pascal and a bit of C++
The app i want to do is about foreign language learning, and should show some frases or idioms during a day on the home screen,so you can observe the new words when you simple look at the homescreen

Thank you in advance for any kind of advice :)

I'm not a pro on legacy today plugins, but in order to make a today plugin .dll you'll need to instal visual studio .net (I use 2008, sometimes). Here's an interesting pick on how to get started with today plugins: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx .

It would be a lot easier to make a plugin for WM 6.5 Titanium, which requires les BS :D . You could use basic4ppc or mortscript for this purpose, which are a lot like visual basic.
