Mobile web apps on tablets : the web2py framework revisited

 * Author name and contact details: fpp on talk.maemo.org
 * Intended audience: users
 * Talk type: presentation
 * Abstract/description
 * Last year in Berlin I gave a longish advocacy talk about the merits of web apps on the tablets, as a way for "normal humans" to fill their own needs. I also advocated Python and a framework called web2py for doing this, and ended with a peek at one of my real-life apps. I did not go into any technical detail however.
 * If the schedule allows it, I thought I might do a follow-up this year, focusing on a more in-depth presentation of web2py : its general philosophy, what services are offered, a tour of its friendly web administration and development interface, etc. No actual coding, except for a few typical idioms and a demo app.


 * Additional Information (optional)
 * by its very nature this can be presented and demoed from a PC, so nothing special
 * I realize this is very far from this year's core themes, but just in case :-)


 * Author bio
 * fpp's main claims to fame are : being amongst the oldest InternetTabletTalk forum users (11-03-2005) ; certainly the most obnoxious Frenchman there ; and owning every model of tablet available since 2005.

PyQt application development on Maemo

 * Author name and contact details: attila77 at talk.maemo.org
 * Intended audience: application developers
 * Talk type: presentation
 * Abstract/description
 * A complete walkthrough of creating applications for the Maemo platform with Python and Qt. The presentation would contain two segments, the first being the 'why' - introduction to underlying technologies, the rationale of using Python and Qt as a development platform on Maemo and a short demo of a few projects built with these tools.
 * The second segment of the presentation focuses on the 'how' in a nutshell: How to setup up a proper PyQt development environment, how to develop most efficiently, how to debug, how to profile and optimize, platform caveats and gotchas, packaging considerations.


 * Additional Information (optional)
 * Needs a PC with projector
