Hi, I’m a complete useless lurker who do not know anything about programming, and I want to program an XMPP client :D. I have absolutely 0 competence, but I’d like to know if there is a language preferable to make such things, and if there is a place where I can start to learn. I tried with some basic tutorials and general lessons about programming, but without a clear goal I got bored and stopped after a little while. Thanks in advance for every advice/insult!

Thanks for the suggestions and the link :). Just briefly looking to the project it sadly doesn’t seems too different from conversetions and forks, but I will check more deeply. Thanks again!

@poVoq@lemmy.ml do you know where I could find an apk for moxxyv2? I am not an expert at all and don’t know how to build applications.

First decide on a platform, then language. Do you want to make a windows gui client? Apple? Mobile? Web? *nix console?
GUI is the hardest part of programming on pretty much any platform, especially compared to how simple XMPP is.
Javascript/web is probably easiest for a beginner…
You’re right, I’d like to develop for android, and I prefer to learn something else than JavaScript. Thanks for the answer and the info of course :)
I am no Android developer but apparently you can use Kotlin for that:
Yep, I thought about Kotlin, maybe if I can learn that I could help jerboa development too :D
My wife uses iPhone. So you should learn Swift and make a reliable XMPP client on iOS, which always notifies my wife when she has a new message.

Yes, she did. I’m going to try @snikket_im@fosstodon.org’s server maybe next year. Thank you.
I think snikket is the best iOS xmpp client!
When the notification doesn’t work correctly on my wife’s phone, it is neither iOS’s nor XMPP’s fault. It is mine.

No, she didn’t. I saw the client didn’t work.
I never used an iPhone or iOS in any way, so I don’t think this gonna work :)
