Im having a bit of trouble locating just what exactly i'll need to develop a simple app for my device.
If someone could point me in the direction I need, such as an IDE (if their is one), and any documentation i'll need to look at.
I currently code in c# mostly, but at work today I discovered a problem that could be easily overcome with the right app on my phone. So, any links you guys have for someone that has never developed a BB app, awesome!
If it matters, I'll be coding for a BB 8900, and would like it to be compatible with a pearl as well.
You'll need to download at least the BB JDE for the version of BB OS that you'll be running (I'm not familiar with what version the 8900 or Pearl are running) from: BlackBerry - Java Development Environment
You can also download a plugin so that you can use the Eclipse IDE to do your BB development. Information and directions for getting started are available from: BlackBerry - BlackBerry JDE Plug-in for Eclipse
The Visual Studio one isn't that handy as you need a BIS to install your app's on phones. You will want to make sure you get the regular SDK or the plugin for Eclipse.
