Qt for Mobile Developers training on 26-28th of May 2010

Demola, Forum Nokia and Digia are organising Qt for Mobile Developers training on 26th-28th of May.

This training is for Demola and Protomo team members, companies and teachers.

Training Description

The training consists of lectures given in the mornings and hands-on Qt coding sessions during the afternoons. Attendees are encouraged to form small teams of 2-4 members and together develop a cool, small Qt application running in a mobile device during the training. Teams may decide to run their application in Symbian or Maemo platform or even in both.

The application developed during the training is a WebKit and location-based application. There are three goals the application should meet

  • It should provide a nice mobile user experience, so special attention is needed in the UI design
  • It should use the location Qt Mobility API to render user’s own and other users’ locations in the map (OpenStreetMap APIs are used for rendering locations on the map)
  • It should share location and other information (e.g. images) with other users using messaging Mobility APIs
