Starting Out

Hello there. I'm an aspiring computer engineer, and I want to start app development while I'm still in college.

Tizen appears to have a big future ahead, so I want to try it out; however, I'm a total beginner in the app development field despite having some programming experience. Can anyone give me a list of what I need, and how to start developing in Tizen? I'm looking forward to flexing out my programming muscles with Tizen, because it's on HTML5. I intend to go on graphics programming in the future (OpenGL), but I'd really like to start on things I already know. I want to be productive as much as I can. I hope I can help out in this community as well.

Hi Glenn Liwanag, For starting webapplication developement, you need basic skills on HTML and js programming . To start with tizen skd download follow the instructions mentioned in https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/sdk. In eclipse IDE, there is help tab, where you can find full information regarding the widgets and APIS supported by tizen or you can browse through https://developer.tizen.org/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.tizen.web.uiwidget.apireference%2Fhtml%2Fpage%2Fapp_page_structure.htm To create sample web application choose Device API menu under tizen web project in eclipse while creating projects, there are several example apps like Alaram, Calendar, Bluetooth client/server , call, contact..etc it will help you in understanding how to create web applications.

Hi Glenn, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Yes, you can go ahead and start developing apps, as the knowledge of HTML5 is enough. You can download the SDK from tizen website (https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/sdk). Please refer to https://developer.tizen.org/ for developer documentation. Wish you a Happy and successful new year :)

I know the basic HTML5, CSS/3, and a good grasp on JavaScript. Thanks to both of you. I will have my Ubuntu partition up and running as soon as possible, as the SDK is not yet ready for the Mac OS X. I'm excited! This is one of the things I'll look forward to. Raghu, thanks for the appreciation. School isn't just enough! I want to be a rockstar ninja engineer! :D Wish you all a happy and successful new year too!
