I'm a starting programmer and I can write c++ programs (nothing more or less). I want to get started with writing Ubuntu touch apps, but I have no idea were to start. Should I just jump into it, or should I first learn Java or something like that?

Thanks in advance! Jorik

Please note that your question is subjective. Therefore this answer is subjective to me.

Level #1

Get yourself familiarized with QML.
Resources:

Level #1.5

At this level, you are ready to make a small application. You can get started with Ubuntu Development. Install the Ubuntu SDK , go though design guidelines and make a small application from QML or HTML5:

Learn how to publish your application to the Click App Store from HERE.

Level #2

Just knowing QML is not always enough. It's time to learn QT along with C++

Feel free to checkout other books on QT/C++/QML

You can develop Ubuntu Touch apps in either QML or HTML5 which are both very easy to learn.

To get started I would suggest going to these links:

  1. HTML5 App Tutorial
  2. Ubuntu Touch App Design Guide
  3. API Docs

You will also need to install the Ubuntu Touch SDK in order to run the samples.

To install the Ubuntu SDK on 12.04 and higher:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk

    Don't know why my answer is downvoted. @Jorik asks for a start in developing ubuntu touch apps. developer.ubuntu.com is a good starting point for that. Or am i wrong? – Evenbit GmbH Feb 17 '14 at 16:50
