But none of these is used for app development, by beginners. I use C# for WP8, some of my freinds use HTML5 too.
Since i know core java, C# is right for me, bith have almost similar syntax.
since you are a student, register yourself on dreamspark.com, verify your account and then you can get a free developer account too.
Even if you dont register right now, you can download Visual Studio Express for WP from dreamspark site & start developing right away, also you can begin watching these videos, really helpful:
C# Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners | Channel 9
HTML5 & CSS3 Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners | Channel 9
Javascript Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners | Channel 9
Select one method and stick to it, i would recommend C#, easy to learn while making apps themselves.
& Watch this, really good.

- I think you will need W8 and VS Express for WP and Windows8 pro(pro for running emulator) if you want to work for WP8.04-16-2013 01:36 PMLike 0
- I don't believe you need 8 at all for WP8 dev, I remember working on WP8 from Win7. And if the emulator doesn't work, the dev license is free for students so you can unlock your phone and debug on that.04-16-2013 01:40 PMLike 0

PS sorry if this posted in the wrong forum...i thought this place seemed the right
For C++ you can use any number of IDEs including Visual C++ in Visual Studio or even free compilers like Bloodshed, or if you run Linux anywhere there are native tools in Linux for compiling C/C++.
You can also look into JavaScript/HTML5 as Windows 8 Modern Apps can be written in this also if you have an interest in Web Development. If you want to create games you should look at Unity, which can publish to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.04-16-2013 01:42 PMLike 0 - Yes it is, maybe its only for the emulator, emulator works only in W8 Pro(& gives a loot of trouble to non geeky kind first time when they start it).(i'm also a noob btw)04-16-2013 01:49 PMLike 0
- Ha ha I might be thinking of WP7 on Win7, but yeh I couldn't get the WP8 emulator to work on my homemade Win8 Pro computer so I just deploy to my device. And I'm as noob as it gets lol04-16-2013 01:52 PMLike 0
- Hi!
You can get a dreamspark account but unfortunately you canīt sign up for a dev account because you have to bee 18 years, I have that problem because Iīm 16 too. So, you will unfortunately have to have win8 because you canīt test your apps on the phone so you need the emulator :(04-17-2013 02:58 AMLike 0 - I would suggest learning C++ first as this is a great unmanaged language. However, once you get proficient enough to want to move past console applications you should switch to something like C# which is a great managed language. If you can get into DreamSpark, or a copy of Visual Studio from your school I would use that for C#.
