Maemo team released today maemo 4.x Chinook training material. We hope that maemo training courses provide an efficient overview of the tools and methodologies needed when developing applications and platform services to the maemo platform. Courses have been done to be as hands-on style as possible. In practice tis means that there are a lot of exercises and examples how to write simple GUI applications and platform services and how to integrate them into the maemo platform and the packaging framework.

More information about maemo training material, course material itself and instructions how maemo community can contribute to the training material creation can be found from official maemo training pages and maemo community wiki pages.

This time we announced following three maemo training courses for maemo 4.x Chinook:

The maemo workshops held in Copenhagen, Beijing, Shanghai, Palo Alto and Boston in the last couple of months were an exciting experience at least for me. The slides from the presentations are finally available at maemo.org. I wish to thank all the participants on my behalf, let’s keep in touch!
