Where to start

---

Any chance someone can give me some information on how to get started. I'd like to start looking at developing software for the XDA II but don't know where to start.

Thanks alot, is there any real programming knowledge required or is it pretty intuitive?

Any help is much appreciated

Downloaded the eVC++ 4.0 and it's asking for serial details but I didn't see a Buy Now or anything. Do I have to register, is this free or do I have to pay?

for eVC++ 4.0, use this serial:
TRT7H-KD36T-FRH8D-6QH8P-VFJHQ

its FREE, but needs a serial :wink:

if you never programmed before then vc++ will have a steeper learning curve then vb
but imho then programming is never truly intuitive

I've done web design and VB programming before and found both to be easier when using a little common sense :P

Thanks alot for all your help, keep anything coming that you think will be useful, it's much appreciated

visual studio can make vb applications for pocketpc i seem to recall

it cant make c++ or c# applications for pocketpc not sure why

if you want to make thos you need embedded vc++

All,

I've heard a few people around here saying that they develop in raw C so the don't have the MFC stuff to worry about. Can anyone tell me what compiler they used to compile raw C to work on Pocket PC or does eVC4 do it
