Workshop offer: Prototyping applications on the mobile platform fast We offer workshops and tutorials internationally to companies and institutions who want to strengthen their competitive edge in the mobile space. Our workshop aims at bringing inspiration and vision for innovative application and concept design. It enables participants to jump to new heights in designing, building and exploring new types of mobile applications and services by learning how to turn innovative ideas into working solutions rapidly. The concept of this workshop has previously proven to be highly successful and has been taught by Jürgen Scheible at companies such as Yahoo, Teliasonera, Chungwa Telecom, Nokia Research and Nokia Siemens Networks, but also at MIT, Stanford and various Art and Design Universities. Approach. The workshop goals are achieved firstly by going through hands-on training session where programming of modern smart-phone features are introduced, using Python for S60 and many easy exercises. Secondly a further 2-3 day session is held, in which participants are guided in building applications based on their own ideas, with the help of the skills learned in previous days. This may be applications that people work on in their daily jobs already, or such that they always wanted to try doing but never had the time for, or it could be some totally new, wild idea, inspired by and perceived during the workshop (which has often happened in past workshops).

In this workshop the participants will learn how they can turn an application idea into a fully working solution on the mobile platform. It will enable them to: 1. Program many features of modern smart-phones to 'play with'. The teaching style is hands-on, leaving enough space to orientate the teaching speed on the individual skill levels of the participants. Workshop duration. The duration can be kept flexible ranging from 4 hours to 5 days, but typically consists of a 2 day hands-on training session and further 2 to 3 days of building prototype applications based on newly generated ideas. Prerequisites Prerequisites. The workshop is aimed at experienced mobile developers, but especially to designers and concept developers who have some basic programming knowledge such as e.g. Flash Actionscript, Php or any other scripting language. There is no need to have any Symbian OS nor S60 knowledge, neither having programmed ever any mobile device. Video recordings of workshop outcomes. In addition to teaching the entire workshop, we also offer to produce short video clips of the outcoming applications of the workshop. These can be used inside your organisation for presentations or internal communication and cooperation with other people and divisions. Contact. If you are interested in having a workshop organised at your organisation, please send email to Jürgen Scheible jscheib [at] taik.fi About the Workshop leader. Jürgen Scheible is internationally active in teaching workshops and giving talks on rapid mobile application prototyping in academic but also professional settings e.g. at Stanford University, MIT, NTU Taiwan, Yahoo Research Berkeley, Nokia (in total more than 40 occacions in more than 17 countries). He is author of the book 'Mobile Python - Rapid prototyping on the mobileplatform' (Wiley) and is a researcher, music and media artist. At the Media Lab of University of Art and Design, Helsinki he runs the Mobile Hub, a prototype development environment for mobile client/server applications with a strong focus on artistic approaches and creative design.
