:Since [[Python]] is the primary development language for applications, you can still build something as long as you are careful to isolate the GUI portions of your code and not do anything overly complex. Or, if you use [[PyGTK]], then you come very close to the real development environment in [[Sugar|SUGAR]]. If you will be programming in C++ or assembly, make sure that the program does not use any instruction that the Geode GX does not support. Geode GX fully support the Athlon instruction set, plus some Geode-specific instructions (the instructions that the Geode GX support are listed in it's data book. See [[Hardware specification]] for a link to it). It does not support SSE, except for the subset that Athlon's 3DNow Enhanced supports.

If you are a skilled *IX user then the [[Sugar]] page should help. But most developers who will be working on OLPC will be using Python to develop educational applications.
