An intensive university course for two weeks in which to get familiar with Qt programming on Maemo and the tools used for that.

Contents

[edit] Preparations

  • How to set up a garage account and project
  • Think of a simple app that can be coded in about a week (doesn't matter if there is already an app out there that does what you think is cool, it's supposed to be a learning experience for you)
  • Form small 3 person teams
  • Use garage for project tracking
  • Get the tools and go!

[edit] Course format

  • Small teams for the projects, preferably about 3 people per team
  • Run in a SCRUM way - but this is up to the teams
  • Sprints last for about three days
  • Course mentors visit as possible and needed in the afternoons
