I have mentioned that, for our GaugeCam project, I am setting up to program our Nook Color. I downloaded the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the Android SDK, the Nook Color SDK (with a Nook Color emulator), and various and sundry other items to get started. I have been able to write a program that allows a user to enter a web address, then press a button to load a web page into a web browser and show the HTML code in a text field. Java is the language of choice for most Android programming. C/C++ is possible, even with QT creator, but not recommended for anything other than spot speedups for a number of good reasons (complexity, compatibility, development tools, debugging, etc.) I have not been much of a Java guy because I make my living with C/C++ and a little C#, but I have to admit that I am quite impressed. The image below shows the small program I wrote to access the web with the Eclipse IDE behind it. Now comes the fun part of designing a more serious program that we can use at GaugeCam. Notice the web page shown here is the Chapman Kids Blog!
