I just downloaded QNX. Now what the @#$! am I supposed to do?

I'm glad you asked. Malte, a field application engineer who works for QNX Germany, has created a video to accompany his inimitable QNX QuickStart Guide. The guide leads you through all the basics: installing QNX, configuring network connections, creating IDE projects, compiling code, debugging programs — all in 10 easy-to-follow steps. Better yet, you can download the video in English, German, or Japanese.

Here's Part I of the video, which has just been posted on YouTube. See below for links to the entire video and to the PDF version of the QuickStart Guide.

QNX gets a jolt

Good news: Dr. Dobb's magazine has just announced that the QNX Momentics IDE is a finalist in the 18th annual Jolt awards. Momentics is up against five other IDEs in the Development Environments category, including Sun's Netbeans IDE 6 and ActiveState's Komodo IDE 4.

Taking home this award would be a real coup, as the Jolt judges actually download and try out the shortlisted products. In many other technology competitions, judges simply review written submissions and make their decisions based on what they've read.

But hey, why wait to hear what the Jolt judges say? If you've never used QNX Momentics, download it now and judge for yourself. Visit http://www.qnx.com/products/getmomentics/.
