Developer Talk At UFPE: How to Build Your Own Smartphone with Symbian OS

The time is running out for the end of the year and I forgot to mention about the First Free Software Conference of the UFPE. There I had the pleasure to meet Wilkens and others great open source advocates.

I also had a chance to talk about Symbian (we have compiled the Symbian^3 kernel there), Qt for S60 and a bit of Maemo. Check out some pictures from the presentation and slides.

Marcel, Thanks man for the opportunity! :)

Tum: Twitter client for Maemo and Symbian S60

I do not finished my undergraduate degree yet, I have a long history behind it. People sometime treat me like an idiot. I'm not a dumb or I don't like to study.

Every single day I study what I like, I try to acquire skills informally, talking with experts, observing others, through trial-and-error, maybe I am going to be the next Brazilian president ... kidding ... :)

I've been working in my very spare time in a twitter client for Maemo and Symbian phones. It's called TUM, acronym to Twitter User Magnificent. You can see a video from an old version at this Youtube page.

Please, note that I have changed the name of the project because there is already another Twitter client called QTwitter.

ReMobile: Mini Curso Gratuito Nokia WRT em Recife

O ReMobile, ou melhor Recife Mobile, é a minha tentativa pessoal para estimular o desenvolvimento de aplicativos para dispositivos Nokia em Recife. Nesta primeira edição estarei ministrando um mini curso gratuito sobre a tecnologia Web Runtime, presente em dispositivos Nokia S60.

O Web Runtime, ou WRT, permite desenvolver aplicações para celular que utilizam tecnologias Web (XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Adobe Flash Lite). O WRT pode ser facilmente comparado aos programas dashboard do MacOSX ou os widgets do iGoogle.
O Web Runtime é uma das grandes apostas da Nokia e têm sido tema para vários concursos promovidos pela empresa.

[Nokia WRT] Transforming your Web Design Knowledge into Mobile Design Skills

With the addition of Nokia WRT (WebRuntime) and the Adobe Flash on mobile development it is evident that web developers will migrate to the mobile arena very soon. Become a mobile developer can boost your career in tough times.

I can remember when I started programming to mobile devices using Java programming language eight years ago.
Java ME midlets still targeting mobile development only. Now we can do software that runs on mobile and desktop with few modifications... sometimes a "if" statement.

I am really proud to be at this (re)evolution in mobile phone development. People can't see that Nokia is ahead in convergence services bringing Adobe Flash and Web development for mobile devices.
According to Simon Judge, a respected mobile developer, and GetJar stats, the top 19 phones used to download content at GetJar are all Nokia.

GetJar distribute over 33,00000 separate applications and see 5,297,136 downloads per week. GetJar has downloads for Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Palm, iPhone and Flash Lite. Hence, they have a great view of the devices adding applications. Statistics are available at mobref.com.

When I last looked, the statistics had images and data on 1302 devices. These are ranked by how new they are and their market share. Looking at the statistics, it’s interesting to see the top 19 phones are all Nokia

If you are considering mobile development, you might conclude that Nokia S60 and S40 should be the first devices you might support. Another observation is that there’s a large long tail of phones. i.e. A large number of phones with less than 1% market share. " via Mobile Phone Development

If you agree with me and want turn your web knowledge into mobile you can register for web 2.0 conference or go to forum nokia wiki to read more about mobile development.
