Hi every one.

I have not really been active in the IT industry for a while. I'm just re-entering and everything seems so new.

I have a project on hand and I'd like pointers in the right direction. I would like to build a mobile application rather like "who wants to be a millionaire". My targets mobile devices are dumb-phones (Java enabled) and Blackberry devices.

What language is my best bet and I wouldn't mind pointers in the right direction?

Thanks.

Too general question, hard to answer without knowing your experience and requirements. Why not Java is some of the target devices are Java-enabled (I guess, only Java)?

I'm sorry for the over generalisation. My experience in mobile development is practically nil. I have a lil experience in html, css, php, and vb.net from years ago. My requirement is simple. Just need to get an application that asks a question, provides options and then show if the selected option is correct or not. Thanks.

My boss had me just start looking into what it would take to start developing a mobile app. Seems like each device runs a different OS (and/or version of OS) and needs to be programmed in a different language (I might be exaggerating here...it's just overwhelming). I got most of my help researching here on Code Project. Start by reading articles in The Mobile Zone[^] which is found under the Learning Zones section.

Also try google. There are some tools out there that will help convert from one platform to another, but if you are interested in programming for the iPhone or other iOS devices they have pretty strict rules that you need to program with Xcode on Mac in Objective C.

Hope this helps get you started.

I would take a look at Mobile application development[^]

From here you will be able to see what platforms are support by each IDE and what language you need to use.
