Who am I?

It all started innocently enough. The notebook didn't fit in my pocket, and my N93 was already there.

Live answers: Using Python for easy development of Nokia N93 application

kevin_s2f | 02 June, 2007 01:07

Good news! I was hoping yesterday to arrange a conversation about using Pyton on S60 to start the wine tasting journal. The conversation is arranged, and you’re invited.
 
Mr. PyS60, Jukka Laurila has agreed to discuss this project live on Thursday, June 7, at 18:00 Finnish time. That’s 16:00 in London, 11:00 in New York, and <apology> 23:00 in Beijing. </apology>
 
He pointed me to an interesting exercise  that Artem Marchenko's team did on rapid prototyping hybrid Python/C++ techniques with support from Jukka.
Update: I realized the link is only available if you're inside the Nokia firewall. Sorry.
 
If you’ve been curious about PyS60, here’s your chance to talk directly with the best resource you could possibly find. If your schedule does not permit you to attend, feel free to post your questions as comments to this post and we’ll try to address them in the thread. Here are some of the questions I plan to ask next week – talk to you then!
 
  • Overview
    • how do I work in Python?
      • What tools do I need?
        • for PyS60
        • How about working with PyS60 and Carbide.c++?
      • What downloads do I need?
      • Where are the best places to find PyS60 code samples?
    • how do I package and deploy PyS60?
      • related to Symbian Signing and security model
      • anything else I need to know
    • how valid is my initial view of PyS60 as being the "perfect" middle starting point?
      • Where, and only where, PyS60 does not provide access to required platform features, I drop down into C++
      • If the UI available in PyS60 is not sufficiently engaging I can wrap it all in a Flash Lite UI wrapper
  • My project specifics
    • multimedia control -- how much control over the camera do I have in PyS60 or can I pass to the user during image capture (for example, in Java, when I use the camera API it disables all user controls e.g. zoom, macro, etc.)
    • How about audio recording?
    • And some portability issues -- it would be cool if some of the viewer portions of my project were usable on both the N93 and in a desktop environment running a Python interpreter. Can you point me to examples of PyS60 projects designed for portable from mobile to desktop? The marriage of PyS60 and OpenC is an obvious avenue in my mind, but I haven't seen any discussion to date.

So, how do you listen/discuss live? (possibly a dumb question)

kevin_s2f We'll do it usign the same tools and interfaces we're using on the blogs now. Just make sure you refresh yoru screen frequently to see new comments, and when you have a question or comment, just use the "post a comment" feature.

"talk" to you Thursday!

Hi Kevin ,

Could you post the correct link to artem's exercice ? This links doesn't work : http://blogs.nokia.com/blogs/sounds/2007/05/innovation_hive_1.html

Thanks

kevin_s2f My humble apologies. It appears the blog post I pointed to is behind the Nokia firewall and not available publicly. Let me see what if any of it I can get "declassified".

And note to self -- stop composing blogs on a secured machine or at least turn off the VPN before checking links.

I wish to sugest as to improve the cell phones.Most of the cell phones have camera and cam in them.It would be real help if you can add video in,so that person can hook up small cam ( like spy cam )to record video.All cell phones dont need the key pad all can be touch screen.Audio record should be easly ececable.
Thanks

kevin_s2f Good suggestion. You should also consider posting your suggestion here http://www.s60.com/life/wishlist/displayWishList.do

The S60 wishlist link above is the one that the S60 software engineers and product managers monitor for suggestions, and it is also the place a lot of managers of developer companies monitor to decide what applications and features they may want to develop and market.
