You should also consider developing using Qt/QML. If so, you will need the Nokia Qt SDK.

I try to understand the qt sdk and my head is about to explode, because i still dont know anything about developing applications.

Are there any books to learn about developing applications?
I have found a training book for the maemo sdk but it doesnt help that much.
i think i have to start from the beginning.
How did you learn to develop applications ?
in the university?

"Thinking in c++" (open digital book on the web) for C++ development.
"C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 - 2nd Edition" from Trolltech for Qt libraries.
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/ for online documentation.

I have found a book about the c++ programming language.
The book says that i have to know basic things about the c programming language.

Brief chronology of my learning experience:

Feb 2010: Began learning object-oriented programming using Java via The Open University.

May 2010: Began learning Python/Qt in my spare time using this book. Completed a couple of personal projects.

August 2010: Began learning Maemo/Qt development. I did most of my development in the Eric 4 IDE (which is great for Python/Qt) and testing was done in Scratchbox.

November 2010: First release of cuteTube.

Now: Re-writing cuteTube using QML/C++. Development is done using Qt Creator 2.1.

Python is a great language and is one I would recommend for beginners, there are some nice tutorials from Thomas Perl on using Python/Qt/QML here.

You can also do quite a lot using just QML and JavaScript. There are quite a few useful examples here

Get a C++ programming book for completely newstarters, one that doesn't require previous knowledge of any other language, including C.

And one thing to note: it will take MONTHS to learn to do proper applications, do not rush!

How did you learn to develop applications ?
in the university?
I started programming back in 80s on my Commodore 64, there were plenty of BASIC books and stuff back then. Then I moved to doing assembly on my trusty old IBM PS/2 i286, then to doing C/C++Žon my next PC and so on. Self-taught all the way.

Regarding knowing some C to use C++:

If you skip classes and object orientation, C++ is very much like C with pointers and memory allocation and all that, potentially, nasty stuff that you can get done for you in C++.

Understanding some C will help you a lot when you end up needing to make more fidgety things since you'll almost always end up flipping bits and worry about byte ordering and other very low level details.
