Libmeegotouch: Touch Everywhere (MeeGo Training)

The training agenda is as follows:

Introduction to MeeGo Touch Framework

• How to get started? How do I build it? On which platform?
• Why would I use MeeGo touch instead of QML/plain Qt in tablets?
• What kind of tooling support is available for MeeGo Touch?
• MeeGo Touch resources: community, bugzilla, gitorius, etc.

An Application from Scratch

• Choosing our target: tablets/handhelds
• Setuping our environment: Qt Creator, libmeegotouch, git
• What visual elements I need? graphics, styles, etc.
• Coding:
  • Code style
  • Recommended design patterns
  • Localization: How I should code to do my application localizable (multi-languages)?
  • Styles/graphics: How to use? , How manipulates meegotouch the graphics?
  • How MeeGo Touch applications are tested and debugged?

The application

We will develop a sample an application, while following, the audience may follow us and create an application of their own.

• My application is done:
  • How can I run my application on a real device (e.g. N900) or emulator?
  • What are the steps to package/publish my application?

Recommended skills for the audience:

• Basic skills of C++ and Qt
• Basic skills in using GNU/Linux platform as development environment

To follow the coding exercise, we recommend bringing with you:

• Laptop with a supported MeeGo development environment (Debian / Ubuntu recommended)
• QtCreator + local copy of libmeegotouch + dependencies (read README at gitorious)
