New Hackathons and Tizen Training! And something about the past ...

The FRUCT Association continues the Developer Lab (training) and Hackathon series on Tizen development with the support of Intel, with the participation of Intel and Samsung specialists.

Two new DevLabs and two Tizen hackathons will be held by the end of the year! Representatives of FRUCT decided first of all to take us to places of past glory, so the next events will be held in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod.

The Tizen Developer Lab is an in-depth, hands-on demonstration of great tools and APIs available today to developers building applications for the Tizen system. It includes an overview of the Tizen SDK features, an overview of the Web API, tips and tricks on porting, development components, and more. By participating in Tizen DevLab, you will get the opportunity to listen to lectures and master classes by Intel and Samsung specialists, as well as get individual advice on the development of a Tizen system.



We have already conducted several Tizen DevLab with FRUCT and the guys from the Samsung Tizen Eva Group. It was a rather interesting experience both for us and for the visitors of the trainings. Each time the program changed a little, something, if possible, improved. In some cities there was an opportunity to tell you more about development using Web technologies, and in others about creating native and hybrid applications.

A bit about the speakers.





In total, the following topics were covered on Tizen DevLab:

• Introduction to the Tizen platform and its ecosystem
• Tizen Store and Tizen App Challenge
• Tizen SDK (application for web and native development )
• Native and hybrid apps for Tizen
• Tizen Web API and HTML5 Development for Tizen
• Using Developer Tools in Developing HTML5 Applications
• Using Web Analytics at Tizen
• Recommendations for building a UI in applications for Tizen

The most successful, in my opinion, performances I have collected in this Youtube playlist . You can familiarize yourself with them and get a general idea of ​​the content of the training program. But DevLab is not only presentations by speakers, but also practical exercises, a huge amount of communication and exchange of experience that cannot be transmitted through videotapes!

Therefore, come to Tizen DevLab to see the current version of our program, take a personal part in master classes and ask questions that interest you!

Plus, we presented several Samsung RD-PQ devices running Tizen, to the participants who asked the most interesting questions or showed themselves differently during DevLab.



Hackathon is a marathon for programmers! Participants are given only two days to create their project from scratch to a working prototype and submit it to the jury. Winners will receive cash prizes!

Russia's first Hackathon by Tizen was held in Petrozavodsk in September. The competition involved 13 projects that in two days evolved from ideas.



to ready-made applications for the mobile version of Tizen 2.2.



Two days of coding passed almost without a break: the participants finished working out late at night on the first day, and continued - in the early morning of the second. All the ideas of the projects were interesting, and the overall level of implementation was pleasantly surprised! But you had to choose only three winners ...



The hackathon jury consisted of representatives of Samsung, Intel and FRUCT: Kirill Danilov, Kirill Chuvilin, Alexander Borodin and Sergey Balandin (head of the FRUCT association). And the places of the teams participating in the Hackathon are as follows:

1. Anna Ogiyko - Scrabblik project
   
   
   
2. Nikita Korzhitsky - Instruments project
   
   
   
3. Julia Zavyalova, Artyom Pogorelov - CardiaCare Project
   
   
   

We expect to see the finalized projects of the winners and other participants of the Hackathon in the Tizen Store immediately after its opening.

During the development, the guys asked a lot of interesting questions, and sometimes quite difficult ones. It was interesting to help understand the difficulties that arise, in some way increasing your level of knowledge.

In general, everything was positive, exciting, and we received a lot of positive feedback!

So, come to Tizen-Hakatons, participate and win!
See you at the next events!
