Up until this point I've been purely a web dev guy.. Mostly PHP, a little bit of ruby and python. What resources would you suggest?
Another route, I have met some people who do mobile development in C++ or wxWidgets. I think it's much steeper learning curve to jump from scripting language to there. Besides, I can't see any real benefit of going through that route UNLESS the apps that you want to develop requires an absolute level of performance. Otherwise, IMHO, the development time is not worth it.
Here are some URLs that might be helpful. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158619.aspx http://www.wxwidgets.org/
Hope that helps. :)
I was thinking about going the C# route, I don't think that anything I'd like to build would require the power of C++. Most of my ideas are just for simple apps. Maybe some location based features.. From what I've read C# should be able to handle that.
