February Topic: Python Programming on Symbian (PUTools: Python Utility Tools for PyS60)

We are still looking for a speaker to give a 10-15 minute presentation on a very introductory concept. This should be for the beginners who want to learn something more, but may be intimidated by the more complex topics.

Because this is the first meeting, the size of the meeting place is not yet know. So, please sign-up early so we can plan. You can always change your mind if you need to. Meeting place is being arranged.

It’s QUIZ time guys. This question comes from one of our fellow bloggers.

What is the difference between the two little snippets of codes given below?

<br /> If Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Link”).Exist(0)=True Then<br /> Reporter.ReportEvent micPass “Link Found”, “YES”<br /> End If<br />

AND

<br /> If Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Link”).Exist(0) Then<br /> Reporter.ReportEvent micPass “Link Found”, “YES”<br /> End If<br />

Can you find a problem with the 1st piece of code?

If yes,

• What is the problem?
• What is your solution to it?

Note:  Please post your solution in the comments section below. I will publish the comments only after 24 hrs to give everyone a fair chance of attempting this quiz.

Update: Comments section is now open and answers from our blog readers can be seen below. Here is my explanation on differences between boolean, string and numeric comparison. This question was first asked by MaryAnne.

Equals to operator (=) compares string or numeric expressions. What is returned by Browser(”Browser”).Page(”Page”).Link(”Link).Exist(0) is boolean, as can be checked from

msgbox Typename(Browser(”Browser”).Page(”Page”).Link(”Link).Exist(0))

When a boolean expression (on the LHS) see an equal to operator, it must be implicitly getting changed into string or numeric expression depending on whether string or numeral is present on the other side(RHS).

So in 1st case both of these should work…

String comparison (String – “True” – is present. Note the quotes):

<br /> If Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Link”).Exist(0) = “True” then<br /> Reporter.ReportEvent micPass “Link Found”, “YES”<br /> End If<br />

Numeric Comparison (Numeral -1- is present):

<br /> If Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Link”).Exist(0) = 1 then<br /> Reporter.ReportEvent micPass “Link Found”, “YES”<br /> End If<br />

If you want to compare Boolean expressions on both sides use AND

<br /> If Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Link”).Exist(0) AND True then<br /> Reporter.ReportEvent micPass “Link Found”, “YES”<br /> End If<br />

iPhone Apps: Tips and Tricks to Building the next killer app

Register at:

http://www.sdsic.org/…

What are the elements to building a successful app on the iPhone? The talk will describe multiple paths to both building and marketing an iPhone app and describe pros and cons of each approach. We will use our own app as a case study of both what to do, and what not to do, with the hope that our experience with the iPhone will save time and energy of others who are considering building their own application, whether it be for the consumer market, enterprise, or internal use.

Topics covered:

* Signing up to Apple developer program
* Developing with objective C
* Getting your app approved
* Choosing a price point for your app
* Promoting apps through the app store
* Getting your app to go viral

Presenter: Alex Shah

Facedouble’s apps include Celebrity Look alike and FaceTwins.

Software Developers Meetups > San Francisco iPhone Developers Boot Camp

“If you want to develop apps on the iphone you need this course. Don’t try this on your own, unless you have a couple of months to spare ” —Craeg K Strong – lead developer, Arielpartners.com, attended December basic and advanced workshop and January Three Day Intensive iPhone Boot Camp

“ This course is a great way to jump start your iPhone app development. Taking this course will save you several weeks of wasted effort while you try to figure out the API and more than pay for itself in your very first project. ”
— Giri Iyengar, CTO-signalpatterns.com, attended December basic and advanced workshop

“Alex Cone is an excellent instructor! The course is a VERY intensive, heads down class that provides the participants with the capabilities to create iPhone apps. The bootcamp provides a soup-to-nuts outline of how this can be accomplished. Jonathan’s help and assistance provided the essential “oil” to make this class run smoothly for the 3 days. Highly recommended.” – Bob Angell, iPhone Developer, attended January Three Day Intensive iPhone Boot Camp

The three day intensive workshop from 10am-5pm covers the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough material that you should be able to develop your own iPhone application and upload it to the AppStore. The workshop is limited in size and features hands on exercises under the supervision of the instructor and teaching assistants.

You can RSVP on this site with no obligation and it is recommended.
