Building Applications Fast with Mobile Python

Last week the Python Community gathered in Chicago for PyCon 2008. Two of the speakers attending were Jürgen Scheible and Ville Tuulos, authors of the Symbian Press bestseller, Mobile Python: Rapid prototyping of applications on the mobile platform. This week on the Symbian Developer Network we're pleased to promote a video, Building Applications Fast with Mobile Python, filmed at two workshops given recently by Jürgen. The video shows just some of the weird and wonderful applications you can create using Python on S60 smartphones. The students' projects use the latest features, including the accelerometer sensor, graphics with alpha channel, and reading built-in GPS data, with some very innovative results!
