Jolla Code Camp - Winter 2014

Code Camp Week: Monday 24.2. - Friday 28.2.2013 Room no: 6218

CT30A9301 Code Camp on Platform Based Application Development (4 cr)

We have verified that we will get actual Jolla phones for development and that we will get a Jolla developer to introduce the platform. Sign up! This is an unique opportunity to learn from the people who developed the platform.

Learn to develop on the new Sailfish operating system and use your development skills to harness open web data from around the world! Challenge yourself and provide useful services to the users: Bus schedules, traffic information, weather.. Can you figure out new, innovative ways to combine the freely accessible data to make new services?
Get more information and get started with developing by downloading the Sailfish OS development tools at https://sailfishos.org/develop.html and read the tutorial at https://sailfishos.org/develop-overview-article.html . You can use JavaScript, QT or Android Java to develop for the platform. We have Jolla personnel arriving to the event, with phones, lectures and tutorials!
