Well, the basic requirement is good knowledge of the C programming language in both writing and reading (source is very sparsely commented and sometimes not really trivial) . Unfortunately, experience in Visual Basic doesn't really help much and WinUAE coding isn't really suited as a beginners project.

I would suggest you have a look at the source archive or browse the CVS repository here first.

Development is usually done with MS Visual Studio (free Express version is fine), there are some threads about compiling the source like this, this or this one.
