maybe crackberry needs a dev forum for phone and tablet programming | RIM has a forum for us (developers) but you are expected to do the learning on your own Http://www.blackberry.com/developers will help you get started. I have some concerns for you though. If you were able to master 1 programming language, I would say it won't be too bad. But because you've only dabbled a bit - it is going to be quite difficult. Not impossible, but you won't have much of an advantage over a new learner.
Reading code and using HTML is easy peasy. If you push for HTML5 you should be OK. Most HTML4&5 is simple and easy to work with. It's faster too but not quite strong enough for complex apps like (let's say) building an emulator. It can be done but the FPS wouldn't be good snuff.
Anyway, good luck. You have time if you focus. RIM is turning vendor accounts around in about 48 hours ATM.

I'm no programmer either though, give me the NDK and it's a miracle of I can even compile a tutorial file.

Gimme an app that is as functional as xplore(file manager) for symbian/android. You may take 240hours for that.  |

I see lots of people wanting to code for the PB (me included). Innovatology, KermEd, why don't you start a BBM group where we call all gather and learn?

Wow, a lot of negative responses about his app in 24hours. Please feel free to post links to the apps you built from scratch. In any amount of time.
