EdDave: Wit these kind of talent available in Nigeria, we should have left this stone age. Kudos. I only encourage you to go higher and take control of the emerging IT markets in Nigeria.


I think NIIT is xpensive. Can u recommend another institution here in Lagos?

.........what about new horizon in ikeja .........

Everyone is developing for Android, Apple and Blackberry phone. Why majority of people we have are using java phones. No wonder opera is so popular

pc guru: Currently even as we are speaking i work with Nokia SDK Asha Phones, to be frank its a lot better than using PhoneGap, because not all phones have html5, and nothing like cross domain issues in J2ME. just go to developer.nokia.com create a profile there and steps to develop on Nokia would be given, also pls what does "NegativeArraySizeException" mean

The exception ? Go to google type in the name of the exception and click am feeling lucky,it would take you to oracle's website
But straightforward check your arrays it has to do with the size

WhyAWhy: take it from me, I know Objective-C, took about 1 month to fully master. I had already know Java and C# before then, Objective-C is not so straight forward not something you can pick in a week comfortably but we all differ sha. I developed an app for my masters project and have since abandoned it cos I don't have any apple hardware(school provided the one for masters). Getting back on the wheel but going more in the direction of Android cos of Java.

Oh okay
The project was about what if you don't mind me asking, and was it iOS or mac ?

oshoppy: I am working on a project that requires me to develop an app....please if we have developers in the house that can do this and get paid...please contact me and we can discuss buiz. nice thread.

Sure what's the project about ? Which language
Let me know first

but wait oh... If you really want to develope for ios and android, you can always use adobe's AIR SDK using action script. And action script is not hard. Apps developed with AIR works as native app would

If you are learning Java, How easily can you switch to mobile programming?

You guys never made mention of Netbeans as a tool to develop mobile apps..fast !!!

Really nice thread. I wish to ask is python good in developing apps for andriod? Its looks so easy to learn than java what do you say

Sincerely guys, i'm jealous. U guys have been speakin in languages i'd luv to speak in... U make me proud to be a nigerian. How i go join speak dis language na?

I use Netbeans with Nokia SDK, to be frank I don't like Netbeans but I find it useful esp because of the pre-processor, I prefer Eclipse but for some reason I can't see my resources folder in the jar, if you know a solution I won't mind, don't be deceived J2ME phones are more than Android or ios, and that's a fact. BB,Nokia are more popular and affordable, android and ios is for techie pple, even I don't have Android or IOS. Opera mini,whatsapp,2go are all j2me.

Anyone that whats to program for java phones that is j2me phones should download this sdk for j2me programming using your phone from J2me Sdk Mobile . Contact me if you want to learn how to program for phones:

Netbeans IDE and SDK are good tools to get started with.
One of the Nokia developer Oyediran Wale taught me in OAU.
It's very easy to use. GUI, drag and drop. But when your app becomes complex then you can't use the drag and drop again.

Drag and drop yeah, but most times I use canvas for some stuff for more better gui, but Nokia UI are kinda better, BB am not yet comfy with it,will try it again.

the bolded is a nice tip to consider as one delves into apps because its where the market is now (j2me) and where it might be in the future (andriod and ios)

Guys Greetings. Lets say I am good in Java(from the fundamentals to the more complex-web services,jsp,ejb etc) but my problem has always been that I write programs intermittently, so you guys can understand how I admire some of you guys just 'yanning' about program languages that you use...any ways, how can I program mobile applications in java or related languages and what are the opportunities there(and in other related fields). I presently dont reside in Lagos though.
Thanks ALL

God

Guys you don't need laptop to program for j2me phones anymore. You can now use your phone to program using J2me Sdk Mobile . Contact me if you want to learn how to program for j2me phones using the mobile sdk

You can use freelancing simply hire someone that give you give them your idea and budget then they bid and give you details on the project and you choose your best choice to do the job for you

i never knew there were many j2me programmers in nigeria. Lets create a thread where programmers can identify themselves.

pc guru: I use Netbeans with Nokia SDK, to be frank I don't like Netbeans but I find it useful esp because of the pre-processor, I prefer Eclipse but for some reason I can't see my resources folder in the jar, if you know a solution I won't mind, don't be deceived J2ME phones are more than Android or ios, and that's a fact.

I thought The nokia SDK comes already integrated with eclipse IDE... For C++ anyway.. You saying that its different for j2me?

Anybody that has a mobile friendly website can turn that very site into a mobile application using a very simple method: http://www.appsgeyser.com/

Let me know first

It was iOs on a mac mini using objective-C. It was for a medical device for my masters project but because apple didn't allow native bluetooth connection without jailbreaking i had to design a simulated version of the medical device on one iphone and the receiver on another iphone and used the bluetooth and wifi connection to transmit data. Application: Medical doctor can view a pregnant woman's FHR and UHR and understand what stage she is prior to full labour to forestall false alarm and hospital visits.

pls help,d website is on russian language pls hw cn i change it to eng.
Thanks

You can always go for JavaME. Also there is something like JavaME polish. This will allow you to be able to build Java applications for phones.
You can use NetbeanIDE as your IDE.

xterra2:
To play sounds you use. The phonegap sound API which can play max of 30 seconds
There's a performance hit,its fast not very fast
Can't access the android menu button, which almost every android app has
Can do html only no dynamic stuffs

But its still good, I have an android app done. By it, I have compiled it and tested it though I want it to play sounds and it would be done, so am still doing the sound part
I have an icon,splash screen everything complete remaining to play sounds

What are you working on ? Let me know and state your goals
Maybe we can work together
I can send you the phonegap appp I made if you wanna see


Do you know objective C ?
Sure maybe I underestimated it but I would use it for simple apps not complex apps
Nothing tooooooo serious

Yes you really underestimated Objective C. Coming from a native C/C++, Objective C is far more elegant and more expressive. It's like it gets you in a position to speak to some piece of hardware in a much romantic, expressive and intimate way. To your point specifically, do you know that one of the most popular classes of Objective C responsible for everything you will do with the camera, photo library, etc is an abstraction of a much more complicated layer AVFoundation framework. How many hours do you think it would take you to learn and use one framework talk less about learning the whole language in hours? Note that all those adding 2 numbers and hello world code samples or reading an entire textbook does not mean you have learned or know the language.

What type of application are you looking forward to create? and for which OS you want to set it up?
