Thank you for the quick answers, I got a initial idea to start with Qt development for N900 and onwards. I think Qt should be the official UI framework because of its designers support also, it is easy and straightforward for development in C/C++.<div>

Hi Abdul,<br><br>I am in the same position - I also have Android experience and am new to Maemo.<br><br>I have been doing a bit of research over the last few days and my feeling at the momemt is that the Maemo community is in a state of transistion so it's a confusing time for new developers to jump in! <br>
<br>Currently, GTK+ is the official tookit for Maemo 5 and Qt is a "community supported" alternative. But for Maemo 6, the roles will be swapped - Qt will become the official UI framework and GTK+ will still be available as a "community supported" alternative.<br>
<br>Qt is the preferred UI framework because of it's cross-platform support. The idea being you will be able to develop a single app and deploy it on many mobile platforms (at least Symbian and Maemo).<br><br>So what is the recommended approach if you want to develop a N900 app right now? Well, Qt 4.6 is still only a technoloy preview for Maemo but it sounds as if it's still the recommended framework for new development. Can a more experience maemo confirm this please?<br>

Hi,<br>I am a newbie for maemo , having extensive experience developing for Android platform, I want to ask here, should I start with Qt ? or GTK+ or they will have the same impact, is there any difference in between the two considered with maemo development, officially GTK+ is supported? can we do everything with Qt we can do with GTK+ ?<br>
<br>Thank You,.<br>
