The year 2009 was the year of great
revolution in Blackberry
Applications world. RIM or Research In Motion introduced
Blackberry. With time it included several new functionalities to this
smart phone. Open GL, the 5.0 API library and widgets are some of its
amazing features. Even during the year 2010, blackberry apps
developers geared up to provide more exciting applications. This has
been changing year after year with each year bringing in more ease in
life and more organization with innovative apps.
Java is the first tool required to for
Blackberry
applications development. Below are the things you will need.
- The first thing you will need is the JDK or Java Development Kit. It may be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
- Many RIM tutorials use the Eclipse SDK. From the official site you can select Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and the version you will need.
- After all this you will need a BlackBerry Plug-in for Eclipse and JDEs for any operating system for which you want to develop the application.
If you do not want to use Eclipse then
you can go for Blackberry JDE, which is a standalone tool that
provides you with the no-frills basics. Firstly, you should install
the JDK, then Eclipse then move on to BlackBerry tools. It is very
easy to install the former two.
You can go through the RIM tutorials to
get started with application development. This will help you in
writing and compiling a basic application in a very short time.
However, to develop sophisticated yet attractive applications a
Blackberry apps developer needs to have thorough knowledge of
programming language called Java.
You can even learn Java from various
ebooks and books available across bookstores. However, to start
developing applications you will need to learn Java.
