Announcing Ubuntu App Developer Week

[David Planella]

Ubuntu App Developer Week
-------------------------

I'm thrilled to announce the next edition of Ubuntu AppDeveloperWeek
[1], from the 11th to 15th April 2011 at #ubuntu-classroom [2] on IRC.

Ubuntu App Developer Week is a week of sessions aimed at enabling and
inspiring developers to write applications that scratch their itches.
Our goal is to give all attendees a taste of the wide variety of tools
on the Ubuntu platform that can be used to create awesome applications,
and to showcase some applications that have been created and explain how
they were put together.

The Sessions
------------

The whole week is packed with interesting subjects, aimed both at new
and experienced developers. During the sessions you'll get a solid
overview on a broad range of the Free Software technologies that will
enable you to create your applications in Ubuntu. At the same time,
you'll be able to chat and ask your questions directly to the true
rockstars on those subjects.

Here are some of the highlights:

      * Integrating applications with Ubuntu tech: Unity, AppIndicators,
        Ubuntu One, the Sound Menu...
      * Enabling multitouch support in applications
      * Application development and testing with Python
      * Rapid Application Development with Qt Quick and QML
      * Rapid Application Development with Quickly
      * Using the Bazaar revision control to track source code history
      * Using Launchpad integration features to develop applications

        Touchégg, KDE, Thunderbird, Internationalization, the

        more about the hottest topics and how to use the coolest
        technologies to write your applications, straight from the best
