Hey,

I'm completely new to programmer coding and i was wondering if anyone wants to teach me? I'm a very quicker learner and i woul love to help out ^^

Also does anyone have the media software for elio photo jukebox or a patch for it so i can get my new mp3 player working?

Rockbox is written mainly in c, there are lots of good tutorials on the net and there are many good books. I suggest you start reading because I don't think anyone here want's to be your private tutor  ;)

   I'm about to start teaching myself C.  You said Rockbox is written "mainly" in C.  What other languages will I need to learn? 
   I've got Microsoft Visual Studio, but as far as C goes it only seems to support Visual C# and Visual C++, so am I right that it will be no help?  It'd be nice to stick with one IDE.  But if not could someone suggest a good one?  (I have Cygwin now because of Rockbox)


   Thanks,

Will

You can use a C++ compiler to compile C if you really want to, but Microsolf Visual C++ will not work.
You also have to set up a Linux or cygwin development environment, which it appears you have done.

Rockbox also uses some assembly code in various parts to improve performance where possible, though I doubt you'd need to concern yourself with that too much...
