MobileCampVancouver2 Q&A w/ John Boxall on the Mobile Web, Nokia S60 Web Runtime and Python/Django and More
Gerald Bauer
FYI: I've published a Q&A w/ John Boxall (Handi Mobility) in the
MobileCampVancouver2 Speaker Series. Some quotes include:
If you're interested in developing for the mobile web a good place
to start is the DotMobi Mobile Web Developer's Guide. It provides a
general overview of the challenges of developing for the mobile web
and how to tackle them.
For diving into Python for S60 check out a the Handi Mobility
blog. I've recently written a series of articles for getting started
with Python for S60. Other great resource's are Jürgen Scheible's
MobiLenin website and Nokia's Python for S60 Developer Wiki.
Python for S60 enables rapid development of mobile applications on
S60 devices. It's great because it works exactly as billed - powerful
mobile applications can be created in a matter of hours. Django is a
Python-based web framework for rapid development. Writing device and
server code in one language speeds up development.
The issues of device detection, image resizing and video streaming
are things we're trying to solve with our open source Django
extension, Bloom.

PS: If anyone else presents at MobileCampVancouver2 and wants to
sign-up/volunteer for an Q&A in the series let me know.
