Gaming apps for S40 full touch

Hello everyone !

I have recently installed the [URL="http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Java/Tools/"]resources [/URL]required to get started with developing gaming applications for the S40 platform (full-touch). I am using the "Nokia SDK 2.0 for Java — for Series 40 apps ". I have developed applications for [URL="http://www.windowsphone.com/en-in/store/app/lose-to-win/812bf82d-0504-4145-a38e-0e56e6bfb990"]Windows Phone[/URL], [URL="http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/motherguide/05159224-ee92-4aa5-8239-1f5415f97cb8"]Windows 8[/URL], [URL="http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/search/raj%20vardhan/?countrycode=IN"]BlackBerry [/URL](web-apps), etc before but I am relatively new to this domain.

I am trying to make a basic app with some UI like buttons, labels, input-text box, etc. I was wondering what are the best practices for this? I realize that in Eclipse we cannot simply drag-and-drop elements like windows applications, so a lot of code has to be manually written. I tried to get my hands on some [URL="https://projects.developer.nokia.com/s40uivisualisation/wiki"]demo projects[/URL], but couldn't really get a hold on them.

Some tips/resources at the beginning will save me a lot of time. Please provide any information that you feel may be useful to beginners like me.

Thanks in advance.

If you wanted to develop a game, I suggest you to use GameCanvas class.
