What do I do now?
« on: June 10, 2004, 07:55:49 am »
I seem to have done everything. Flashed all roms got nearly everything to work. Now I have a great set up using cacko qtopia(thanks maslovsky) that does everything I need it to and more. But where do I go from here? specifically what is the first and most useful language I need to learn in order to contribute to the development community....?

I could program almost anything in good old basic ( but got sidetracked...girls,beer,beer,girls...) luckily the zaurus has rekindled my passion and led me back to the path of the righteous  

So frustrating having ideas and not being able to implement them

I suppose head on over to trolltech and start reading the tutorials there... the problem though is that the direction seems to be heading towards pdaxrom and so moving away from qtopia.
Gorgeous C860, 256 Sandisk SD, 1Gig Pretec 40x CF, PDAIR leather case & the really cool retractable iPDA USB sync/charge cable. Powered by PDAXROM BETA 1.

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.

Start here:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...name=Developing

After you setup a cross compiler, there is an example application. Also Qtopia documentation is rather good - read it.

That\'s a bit misleading - most users still use Qtopia, and most apps written specificly for the Zaurus are written for Qtopia (there\'s a lot of nice stuff coming out of Japan at the moment, most of which never gets listed on ZSI).
SL5500+Origo WIFI+Pocketop Keyboard+BlueMonkey Bluetooth+IBM Microdrive+SL6000+iRiver USB host+PackardBell USB RF mini-mouse+Cheapo Kingmax USB laptop Keyboard+Dynamode USB Ethernet Adaptor
Wrote a couple of things....
IRK, SubApplet, QMode2, NetActive, SimpleEdit, zPocketScript.
