Team up?

Native games should be in C/C++, using the Momentics IDE. Apps are more flexible, and you can pick pure C/C++, Cascades (a UI framework around C/C++) or WebWorks (HTML5/CSS/JavaScript).

I take it you're 17? You're starting pretty early.
I'm kind of late to the party.

Some even start at 7 learning code in assembler. Primitive coding language . Unfortunately I am too late. Reaching 30 in few years time.

Here's some useful resources:

http://developer.blackberry.com -- BlackBerry Developer Site. Their documentation is the first stop if you're unsure of something.

https://github.com/blackberry -- BlackBerry's code samples. Useful to illustrate concepts, or to nab some code here and there (why reinvent the wheel?).

http://devblog.blackberry.com/ -- BlackBerry Developer Blog. Nifty.

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/.../blackberrydev -- BlackBerry Developer Support Forums. Ask a question and it should get an answer. Crackberry's dev forums and Stack Overflow's BlackBerry tag are good too.

I wasn't fortunate enough to own any type of electronics when I was young.
I didn't know what a computer was until I was 9-10.

Which version of Java do you have installed?

[James97]

version 7, update 65 (bulid 1.7.0_65-b20), i check for java updates and it says i already have the latest java platform on my system?

If your antivirus is on, make an exception for qde.exe (the Momentics executable). Furthermore, in the same directory as qde.exe, you should see qde.ini. Find the line:

-Xmx1024M

and replace it with

-Xmx512M

See if that works.

I guess you're a brit?
You should look into Next gen computing courses, Level three is the dogs bollocks, there's a networking one and software development one (mainly C# though), couldn't get in myself, the old maths let me down.

Nice to see a fellow Symbian dev, shame the old girl was discontinued

Yeah, maybe the software development one is for me but im only on equivilant of a gsce if thats that you mean about the old maths??

Sorry I'm from Hull, I sound a bit weird to others, Level 3 Next Gen computing need a GSCE B in Maths (you might scrape in with a C if you're lucky), I didn't even get a C in Maths, so I had no chance of getting in level 3, I was offered level 1 but it was of no interest to me.

Interesting thread. I've wanted to program since my first computer programming course in high school during the 1990s.

If you want make game use finite engine (Unity, Cocos2d), to apps use Native SDK, others way longer. After VB - C# easier C/C++.
