Upgrade of an Old Developer - iwm - 10-27-2021
I am working on getting familiar with the working (Developer side) of Alpine-Phosh postmarketOS on the PinePhone. I could use some help locating the Resources I need for development. I have vast experience in older systems such as X-Window and develop using openGL and some Homegrown UI tools.
I worked for Singer Link Flight Simulation for 20 years for the most part on UNIX based systems, so I'm familiar with how the development side of the System works. I have done Low level Hardware interfaces and built Graphic Display for Instructor Panels and Cockpit Hardware (instrumentation). My Programing is limited to COLBALT, C, C++, ADA, C#
I am very new to this LINUX Environment and have done very limited Admin work. I was planning on building a Scratch Linux to learn the system but saw that it would take to much time. I need to get up to speed ASAP if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction.
I have Read most of the Alpine docs and the postmarketOS docs.
Familiar with APK utility.
Still don't know what I don't know!

You'll probably get a better response in the PmOS subsection of the forum, or better yet an Alpine or PmOS forum/chat. Do you have a specific area of interest that would give you a starting point to work out from? There's a huge range of things to find out about, and many may not be relevant to what you want to do.

I would like to start by porting Mega.nz Cloud server to the the PmOS. It is the one I use and am very familiar with it and have a Developer's notch on it.

Sounds like you are already on the right track in reading whatever you can. Beyond that just search Internet for specific things as you go. If you get stuck, IRC is still a very valuable resource. You can find #linux (and many others) on libera.chat these days.
