I can code non-object-oriented C, have done some Pascal, Rexx, APL, assembler, Cobol, Fortran, Basic, a teeny bit of Java, etc.
So, give me a checklist - preferrably "free stuff" but if I have to shell out a few hundred to Microsoft to get this working, that's OK. Ideally, I'd like to code for Windows, the Q, and portable to Linux should that be the direction I go - i.e. some way to do conditional compilation ...
Thanks!
P.S. if someone wants to take me under their wing, I can pay for the services, too, like if someone is a student, "really broke", etc, and some $$ would help.
I'm also on ICQ / AIM, etc, and even Skype...
Thanks!

The best place to start is here:

Grab a copy of Visual Studio Express, for you probably the C# one. (Yes, they run on linux...under .Net. Your choice if that's good or not, although I'm guessing not)
Then flip over here:

Microsoft has actually always been pretty friendly to developers. So get your MSDN ID (free) and start poking around.
I'm not aware of a raw-code compiler for Mobile 5, although that's not to say it doesn't exist....
