Daniel Rocha's Forum Nokia Blog

A blog about everything that sounds interesting to me and Forum Nokia audience.

Hello all,

This is my first post at Forum Nokia's Blogs, and certainly won't be the last since I like to talk a lot. 

I have been working with Forum Nokia since 2005 and with Nokia technologies since 2000, and it's been a pleasant journey I can say. I am based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where we Forum Nokians have the mission of building awareness for Nokia technologies and platforms and of course help the developer community (which is huge) grow interest in mobile software development. 

As one of the lucky people (according to Hartti) to attend BOSSA 08 Mobile Open Source Software conference held in Recife, Brazil. I gave a lengthy workshop on everything you need to know to get started with Python for S60 application development. I had a lot of fun preparing the workshop, since until 2 weeks ago I knew very little about the technology, and after reading all of the project's material and the amazing Mobile Python book from Forum Nokia Champion Jürgen Scheible, I became sort of an expert on it (at least compared to myself in the beginning of March). It always nice when you can have the opportunity of learning something new, specially when it makes your life so easy as Python for S60 does.

For those interested on it, the material I've presented is linked below so it's free for you to download and enjoy. It contains a .ppt presentation about all things PyS60 (from downloading to start developing and running apps on the phone) and some source code examples, many of them written by my, others taken from the book cited above. 

Here are the links:

Of course, your feedback is always appreciated!
