91.156.157.10: /* Course project list */

This page will always be under construction.

An intensive university course for two weeks in which to get familiar with Qt programming on Maemo and the tools used for that.

== Preparations ==

* [[Getting_started_with_Maemo_Garage | How to set up a garage account and project]]
* Think of a simple app that can be coded in about a week (doesn't matter if there is already an app out there that does what you think is cool, it's supposed to be a learning experience for you)
* Form small 3 person teams
* Use garage for project tracking
* Get the tools and go!

== Course format ==

* Small teams for the projects, preferably about 3 people per team
* Run in a SCRUM way - but this is up to the teams
* Sprints last for about three days
* Course mentors visit as possible and needed in the afternoons
