<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have experience in programming with Embedded Visual C++. I actually wrote a proprietary Bible Reader for Windows Mobile based PDAs. However, I now desire to build an opensource Bible reader for all to use, since I don't care for any of the available Bible readers on the market today. My strength is actually more towards a usable interface design rather than coding, but I am able to get the code to work. :) I am a coding hack but will try to be more structured with this project. My focus is on ease of use so the software doesn't get in the way of reading and understanding God's Word.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Unicode MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"></span></p>

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I think to get started I should take existing source code to learn how to read the various modules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I am thinking The Sword Project for windows would be the best match. But, I am also considering the QPSWORD version. This would require me to use/learn QT for coding though. And I understand from QT that I would still need to compile my code in MS Visual Studio (VS). I am leaning towards just using MS VS. Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can obtain an inexpensive copy of MS VS ($300 is more than I can spare at the moment. I would then use the appropriate code from that reader to use in the mobile version with mobile specific modifications. I would prefer to only work with C++ since I have no experience working with MFC, etc.</span></p>
