programming

I'm completely new to coding apart from web languages. I'm looking to get into coding programs for a Linux port on ARM architecture.
How do I get into this?

it'll be pretty lengthy. i assume it's for some handheld device like a newer generator nokia mobile.

familiarise yourself with a language first. c++ preferably. then learn how how to make it work on arm. i believe it's pretty much exactly the same but you change some syntax and compile it differently.
