What programming language do I have to learn to be able to design mobile applications for nokia, blackberry, adroid etc?
Re: Designing Mobile Apps by NumberOne2(m): 11:12pm On Sep 04, 2011
Different devices have programming languages they support. Here's a brief list:

All Nokia support Java, some support symbian.
All BB's support Java but BB has its own language.
Android is a language and runs on Android phones.
Xcode is a language that runs on iphone.
There's also Bada language for samsung.

The list is endless, choose the device you want to develop for and learn the language.

For a beginner I suggest going the Java way. If you don't understand Java Standard Edition, learn that first. You can then decide to choose one of the options above.

Developing for android requires a good knowledge of Java before proceeding, so learning Java is still best.

@OPĀ  for the three you mentioned, Java.

Number_One:

--> Symbian is an operating system and not a language! If you are good enough in C++ then you good enough to start developing apps or wateva for the symbianOS. For a nokia phone that supports java, well obviously Java is the key
--> Yes the blackberry mobile phone supports Java but it ain't gat some special language. It just has a few extra packages added to the Java API.
--> Android is again like Symbian and blackberry, its an OS. However, it supports Java as its main programming languae but i think it somehow supports C/C++(dnt really knw much about developing android apps with c/c++)
--> XCode is NEITHER a programming language nor an OS. Its more like an IDE(like netbeans or eclipse). However, you develop and build iOS apps on XCode using the Objective-C language. There are others ways for developing apps for the iOS too like flash.

You can download this book (not written by me). It helped me when I first started JavaME. Download from http://www.greenspek.com/download/INTRO.pdf. While you are there, you can visit http://www.greenspek.com/download to see some Java and BB apps I've done (just to encourage you).

Thanks for sorting that out.
