I'm a new developer, I just started and don't know pretty much anything about making apps but can someone please help me get started?

Hey Shao, thanks for the link. Maybe you can help me with some problems I'm having with the installations. Very frustrating so far. Here's how it went:

1. Went to the website and chose HTML5 option
2. Not sure how to proceed but I assume we select left to right in that order on the next screen. Selected Tools for HTML5 and Webworks
3. Then we get another screen with three options. I select the first, Test with Ripple. This is where it starts getting more confusing.
4. The next screen has some text with a link to download the WebWorks SDK. It also has a large button to download the Ripple Emulator. I opted to go with the SDK since nowhere is it indicated what you should download.
5. DL'ed and tried to install the WebWorks SDK but now it says I need Adobe AIR first. (Why it doesn't tell you this before you downlaod the SDK, I don't know)
6. DL and installed AIR 3.2 but the SDK installation says its not the right version. I check the folder where AIR is installed and the lower-most folder says version 1 even though my control panel says its 3.2. I'm stumped...don't know what else to do. Didn't bother with Ripple.

Next, I figure I'd install the PlayBook simulator. All installed but there's no executable files, just a bunch of files with various extensions.

All in all, the whole process seems very complex just installing the needed software, assuming you know what to install. I can certainly understand now why developers are reluctant to write PlayBook apps. I read you also have to request code signing keys. I used to write apps for my phone and it was far easier than this.

Thanks for any brief guidance you can give me.
