    mooses,
    how hard it will be depends on how fast you learn.

    things that will come in handy;
    * Ms visual studio 2005 / 2008 / 2010
    * Meizu sdk
    * .NET framework
    * windows ce embedded 6

    ofcourse you will need to update all the software you installed.
    To get started with programming do some research on google:
    hello world
    goodluck.

    Anybody knows how to make a new project for M8 with VS2005 Pro?
    I have everything needed installed, but I can't find where to start new project... :S
    And... in a M8 VS project, there are any visual editor to see where to place buttons, etc?

    when installing you have to disable the documentation then the installation finishes properly

    If i understand lilM8 correctly ,
    (s)he is meaning to remove the documentation files when you need to select what packages will be installed with The SDK.

    An other good idea is to upgrade your windows / VS2008 and make sure you have the latest SDK for m8

    ps you can also have a look here :

    somewhere in the "new" option field you should see a notice that points to meizu/m/sdk...

    if you want a basic starting point try to do a hello world..
    maybe this clip could help you understanding

    After installing the M8 App Template and trying to build the standard M8 windows application i get 60 errors... (visual studio 2008 prof)

    Little bit demotivating if the demo material doesn't even build.

    1 Install Visual Studio 2008 (professional)with support for intelligent devices
    2 download the meizu sdk
    3 open a sample, compile run.

    thats all and that works for me like a charm (it even isntall a m8 emulator to run the programs on your pc)
    I think its the intelligent devices part that ou missed. Try look in the installation in custom install dialog
