Hi i wasted yesterday trying to learn how to make applications on Kindle.
I read and searched everything here, dowloaded eclipse, and tried to build something with the sdk and lib jar on the kindle opt folder without success.
Im a beginner developer, how knows something about c, ruby, php. I never toched Java, because i think is an horrible clumsy mess, and yesterday i tried several kindlet code that for some obscure reason it has to be 1.4 compatible. Im neither a good user of eclipse dont even know how to import properly a third party java project and get it running without errors, i prefer sublime text, vi.

At the end on the day i saw TCC as an other option.

Im interested on building a sort of calendar, task manager, app using the kindle as a personal tracker. Dont have a problem if the interface is libncurses based.
The other option is building a website compatible with the kindle experimental browser, with some serverside scripting ruby/python on the net. Or is possible to use sqlite with a localhost site inside the kindle?

What do you think would be the simplest option to develop something focused more on functionality than bypassing framework limitations?
