== Rules ==

To ensure that the event runs properly, there are a few essential rules:

*Only individuals may participate. Companies are excluded from the competition because of equity reasons.

*If you have coded your app in a team and you win one of the travels to the MeeGo Conference, your team has to designate one person as the winner.

*Any number of apps can be submitted and elected as winner.

*Apps must be uploaded as executable including at least two screen shots and a brief description on [http://competition.meetmeego.org the submissions website] to take part in the election. The applications have to run on default hardware running on an official version of Maemo or MeeGo.

*All applications, which are created and uploaded during the duration of the Competition will take part in the election. For existing programs, only progress which has been made during the Competition will be considered. When porting apps, only the work of porting will be considered, unless the original program is from the same programmer and was developed or extended in the Competition timeframe.

*Only users of [http://maemo.org maemo.org] and [http://meego.com meego.com] who are registered at the time of voting for at least four months are entitled to vote.

*There is no legal right to win.

More details regarding the election process to follow.

== FAQ ==

=== Spreading the word ===

====Q: Which Twitter Hashtag to use for this Competition?====
'''A:''' Please use '''#mcc2011'''

=== Application requirements ===

====Q: It is obligatory to code in Qt?====

'''A:''' No, it isn't, but it would make your life probably a lot easier
because you will be able to reach more platforms. We encourage everyone to
use Qt.

=== App/Application submission process ===

====Q: Where to submit my application?====

'''A:''' There is an [http://competition.meetmeego.org Application submission page available]. This will be
the only valid way to participate in the competition.
[[MeeGo_Coding_Competition_2011#Participants|This list in the wiki]] is for information only and not valid for the competition.

====Q: Updates allowed during the competition?====
I have a new app in the repository, i am considering to apply for the contest.. If i submit it now, will that prevent me to upload further versions to the repos or here? (As it's a work in progress)

'''A:''' No. you can upload updates till the end of the competition.
====Q: No Maemo/ARM platform?====
There seems to be no platform for '''Maemo ARM'''. What is the right choice if I wish to submit a Maemo application?

'''A:''' Please use the [http://competition.meetmeego.org/platforms/8 MeeGo/ARM platform].

====Q: Who selects the category of the application?====
Will the developers select the category when they join the competition or will someone sort it into the correct category before the voting begins?

'''A:''' They will choose the category for their app, but everyone should
keep an eye on that. Before the voting process starts we'll check if every
app is in a reasonable category, so that it is not possible to cheat by
choosing the category with the lowest competition.

== Rules ==

To ensure that the event runs properly, there are a few essential rules:

*Only individuals may participate. Companies are excluded from the competition because of equity reasons.

*If you have coded your app in a team and you win one of the travels to the MeeGo Conference, your team has to designate one person as the winner.

*Any number of apps can be submitted and elected as winner.

*Apps must be uploaded as executable including at least two screen shots and a brief description on [http://competition.meetmeego.org the submissions website] to take part in the election. The applications have to run on default hardware running on an official version of Maemo or MeeGo.

*All applications, which are created and uploaded during the duration of the Competition will take part in the election. For existing programs, only progress which has been made during the Competition will be considered. When porting apps, only the work of porting will be considered, unless the original program is from the same programmer and was developed or extended in the Competition timeframe.

*Only users of [http://maemo.org maemo.org] and [http://meego.com meego.com] who are registered at the time of voting for at least four months are entitled to vote.

*There is no legal right to win.

'''A:''' Please use '''#mcc2011'''

=== Application requirements ===

====Q: It is obligatory to code in Qt?====

because you will be able to reach more platforms. We encourage everyone to
use Qt.

====Q: Updates allowed during the competition?====
I have a new app in the repository, i am considering to apply for the contest.. If i submit it now, will that prevent me to upload further versions to the repos or here? (As it's a work in progress)

'''A:''' No. you can upload updates till the end of the competition.
====Q: No Maemo/ARM platform?====
There seems to be no platform for '''Maemo ARM'''. What is the right choice if I wish to submit a Maemo application?

====Q: Who selects the category of the application?====
Will the developers select the category when they join the competition or will someone sort it into the correct category before the voting begins?

'''A:''' They will choose the category for their app, but everyone should
keep an eye on that. Before the voting process starts we'll check if every
app is in a reasonable category, so that it is not possible to cheat by
choosing the category with the lowest competition.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Rules ==

* The competition start date is May 21st, 2010.
* Entries to be submitted no later than Wednesday July 21 Midnight Greenwich time.
* Entries will only be accepted for the following formats: Nokia N900.
* Entries may be accepted for other systems but only if they benefit the above format. For example development tools, video encoders, game makers etc that run on PC/Mac/Linux...
* Already released software must have a substantial upgrade from previous releases to qualify for judging and must also contain a list of changes the author has made to the previous version.
* Submitted entries should be accompanied by a forum post, pm to competition organiser and/or a text file with the authors email, PayPal address (can be retrieved later), the name of the software and a brief description of the software. If this entry text file is packaged with your project, this file should be called "entry.txt". You should also provide a brief description of your work done and, if possible, a screenshot to be used in the voting thread.
* Entries that are not stand alone software will have to include any libraries or files required to run, or they should be easily available via the normal Maemo.org and Nokia repositories. Clear instructions will have to be provided. In the case of interpreters and emulators copyrighted files should not be included.
* If there are too many qualifying entries that the forum software cannot facilitate a single voting thread, multiple threads and polls may need to be used to determine which group will be entered into the final vote. Prizes will not be awarded for winners of any such qualifying rounds.
* Coding competition entries marked as beginner will also automatically be entered into a separate beginners contest if they meet the following criteria: entries to the beginners competition must be the authors first released coding project(s) for the N900, and must have been first released between the competition start and end dates.
* Entries in languages other than English will be accepted as long as sufficient English documentation is provided.
* Prize winners receiving a share of the collected bounty will be paid through Paypal transaction. Any fees charged by Paypal will be deducted from the prize amount.

'''''Nb: Competition entry has now ended, voting has commenced here[http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Maemo_Coding_Competition_1#Voting_.28Now_open.21.29]'''''

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

'''The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.'''

Good luck and most of all have fun!

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

== Rules ==

* The competition start date is May 21st, 2010.
* Entries to be submitted no later than Wednesday July 21 Midnight Greenwich time.
* Entries will only be accepted for the following formats: Nokia N900.
* Entries may be accepted for other systems but only if they benefit the above format. For example development tools, video encoders, game makers etc that run on PC/Mac/Linux...
* Already released software must have a substantial upgrade from previous releases to qualify for judging and must also contain a list of changes the author has made to the previous version.
* Submitted entries should be accompanied by a forum post, pm to competition organiser and/or a text file with the authors email, PayPal address (can be retrieved later), the name of the software and a brief description of the software. If this entry text file is packaged with your project, this file should be called "entry.txt". You should also provide a brief description of your work done and, if possible, a screenshot to be used in the voting thread.
* Entries that are not stand alone software will have to include any libraries or files required to run, or they should be easily available via the normal Maemo.org and Nokia repositories. Clear instructions will have to be provided. In the case of interpreters and emulators copyrighted files should not be included.
* If there are too many qualifying entries that the forum software cannot facilitate a single voting thread, multiple threads and polls may need to be used to determine which group will be entered into the final vote. Prizes will not be awarded for winners of any such qualifying rounds.
* Coding competition entries marked as beginner will also automatically be entered into a separate beginners contest if they meet the following criteria: entries to the beginners competition must be the authors first released coding project(s) for the N900, and must have been first released between the competition start and end dates.
* Entries in languages other than English will be accepted as long as sufficient English documentation is provided.
* Prize winners receiving a share of the collected bounty will be paid through Paypal transaction. Any fees charged by Paypal will be deducted from the prize amount.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

''NB: Competition entry is now closed''

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Rules ==

* The competition start date is May 21st, 2010.
* Entries to be submitted no later than Wednesday July 21 Midnight Greenwich time.
* Entries will only be accepted for the following formats: Nokia N900.
* Entries may be accepted for other systems but only if they benefit the above format. For example development tools, video encoders, game makers etc that run on PC/Mac/Linux...
* Already released software must have a substantial upgrade from previous releases to qualify for judging and must also contain a list of changes the author has made to the previous version.
* Submitted entries should be accompanied by a forum post, pm to competition organiser and/or a text file with the authors email, PayPal address (can be retrieved later), the name of the software and a brief description of the software. If this entry text file is packaged with your project, this file should be called "entry.txt". You should also provide a brief description of your work done and, if possible, a screenshot to be used in the voting thread.
* Entries that are not stand alone software will have to include any libraries or files required to run, or they should be easily available via the normal Maemo.org and Nokia repositories. Clear instructions will have to be provided. In the case of interpreters and emulators copyrighted files should not be included.
* If there are too many qualifying entries that the forum software cannot facilitate a single voting thread, multiple threads and polls may need to be used to determine which group will be entered into the final vote. Prizes will not be awarded for winners of any such qualifying rounds.
* Coding competition entries marked as beginner will also automatically be entered into a separate beginners contest if they meet the following criteria: entries to the beginners competition must be the authors first released coding project(s) for the N900, and must have been first released between the competition start and end dates.
* Entries in languages other than English will be accepted as long as sufficient English documentation is provided.
* Prize winners receiving a share of the collected bounty will be paid through Paypal transaction. Any fees charged by Paypal will be deducted from the prize amount.

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

''Nb: Competition entry has now ended, voting will commence shortly.''

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

'''The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.'''

Good luck and most of all have fun!

== Voting (Now open!) ==

Voting is now open for the Desktop category, please visit the "Desktop Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58928] to view the poll and register your vote.

* Desktop
* System & Utilities
* Games
* Graphics & Multimedia
* Location & Navigation
* Other

== Prizes ==

'''Nokia invites the six winners (winner of each category) to the MeeGo Conference 2010, due to be held in Dublin, Ireland! [http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Conference_2010]

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

''NB: Competition entry is now closed''

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

'''The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.'''

Entries are now being submitted. Good luck and most of all have fun!

== Categories ==

There are 6 main categories for submissions:

* Desktop
* System & Utilities
* Games
* Graphics & Multimedia
* Location & Navigation
* Other

== Prizes ==

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

'''The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.'''

Entries are now being submitted. Good luck and most of all have fun!

== Categories ==

There are 6 main categories for submissions:

* System & Utilities
* Games
* Graphics & Multimedia
* Location & Navigation
* Other

== Prizes ==

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

Maemo Coding Competition 1

2010-07-21T14:27:52Z

167.127.218.63: /* Bounty Roll of Honor (So far, we're still collecting) */

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues?

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

'''The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.'''

Entries are now being submitted. Good luck and most of all have fun!

== Categories ==

There are 6 main categories for submissions:

* Desktop
* System & Utilities
* Games
* Graphics & Multimedia
* Location & Navigation
* Other

== Prizes ==

'''Nokia invites the six winners (winner of each category) to the MeeGo Conference 2010, due to be held in Dublin, Ireland! [http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Conference_2010]
Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by Nokia. If the winner is unable to attend, a N900 can be offered in exchange.'''

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices. ==

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your [[Nokia N900|N900]]? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the [[extras]] repository?

Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.

== Getting started with N900 development ==

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== Participants ==

Fill in the table with your application informations and progress. New participants can join at any time up until the closing date.
