Re:

I wish you good start!

It is always easier to start learn new technology with help of experts. I wish i've had a chance to get to such place.

Re: Code Camps - a great way to learn a new environment

good luck with your trip of learning new technology and code programming.

Re: Code Camps - a great way to learn a new environment

You know, flash and action script is not so tough, as it looks like :) Good luck!

Hi Omer,

I'm glad you're inpired to give it a try. I definitely found it worth the effort - it really helps accelerate that initial learning curve. Although, I have to admit, meeting and talking to Faisal at the social event the night before and the numbers being a bit on the low side really helped me get some priority assistance. Depending on how many people attend your code camp, the instructors time can be spread a bit thin.

Hi Mark

Thanks for sharing your experience, I have been thinking of attending a code camp but was not sure if it was useful but after reading your experience I will give it a go.

Thanks
Omer

Smartphone Show

Hi,

It was good to meet you too! Hopefully I'll see you again at the Smartphone Show.

Hey Mark,

It was my first Nokia related event. And I liked to meet you, Paul, Jo and other FNCs and developers.

I hope to see you guys soon :)

Not so good things

Well, the worst thing about MDD08 was the Qt Tutorial (which was the thing I most wanted to go to at the whole event) on the Wednesday morning being cancelled. The guy just didn't turn up.

WiFi access at the Technical University where the event was held was also a real problem. It was OK for me but anyone with a corporate laptop couldn't make the necessary settings changes to use it.

The turn out for the code camp was also pretty poor - although there were more than the you can see in the photo!

Mark

Definitely

Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Its always hard to start with a new technology, code camps provide a strong platform though.

>>Some of it was good, some not so.

Btw, you didn't post any of the not so good things ;-)
