What platform would you choose for Blackberry development?

I can see several options, I'm kind of lost of how to begin

So far, I've seen the most popular is Black JDE, java sdk

I'm not looking for anything fancy, just some plain vanilla form based app.

what would you suggest?


Solution

  • The Eclipse IDE is by far the most popular choice for Blackberry development.

    Whether you want to code in Java or not is another matter. You need to decide which Blackberry devices you want to develop for, because only current Blackberry smartphones use Java. The Playbook tablet does not use Java, and upcoming Blackberry 10 smartphones will not use Java, either. They use a mix of C++, WebWorks, and Adobe AIR instead.
