The Department of Computer Science and Telecommunications at the TEI (Technological Educational Institute) of Larissa, Greece has partnered with Microsoft Hellas to launch another developer contest. The program will be broken into two parts, the first being a month-long phase to train participants in Windows 8 app development. A team of personnel will organise workshops and camps to help students develop knowledge and experience in Windows programming. The second phase is the actual contest, where participants will build a Windows 8 app. It's good to see Microsoft also addressing and pushing development for the desktop OS too.
The competition is open for apps that have not been publicly available on the Windows Store prior to April 7th, 2013 (see website for more details). The submitted apps will be judged by a panel and winners will be announced on May 21st. The five winning placements will see developers receive a Nokia Lumia 620, while all qualified participants will receive a certificate for their efforts.
Apps will be judged on the following criteria:
- Originality & Innovation (30%)
- Programming Level (30%)
- Visual Appeal (20%)
- Consumer Appeal/Focus (20%)
The contest has already kicked off (it did so on April 7th) and will close on May 10th, so be sure to stay tuned for the announced winners. If you're an eligible developer, remember to submit your app before time is up. Also, if you're using a touch screen, the website has been optimised for that added touch of awesome. It's well worth checking out and is an impressive feat of design and deployment.

The new offering of Coursera's Programming Mobile for Android Handheld Systems will start next September 26th. I followed the first offering and it did help me
https://www.coursera.org/course/android
It is part of a series of 3 courses, whose first offering was really interesting and touched on topics which are useful not only for Android development (multithreading, design patterns, Spring framework, HTTP, OAuth2.0, etc...).
And if you don't want a verified certificate... it's free
Hi!
I am looking for an android developer who can make a demo for my startup. Would be great if you have design skills as well. (not easy to find a designer for free)
I have most of the wireframe built out and I am working on graphics mock up. Just started a new job so my hands are tied up but I can put something together on trello to track product features. I am looking for an April-May demo, July-August beta test, and September product launch.
I will definitely offer equity and allow you to be the mobile lead. Company will be launched in Asia to disrupt multi billions dollar industry.
I live in SF and would be great if we can meet in person to share my business plan. I can offer very minimal cash but can defintiely buy you a beer!
Best,
RP

Huawei proudly supported and sponsored the Hack Cambridge Atlas 24-hour event which took place in the heart of Cambridge on 22-23 January 2022. This year’s event was the 7th iteration of the successful student-run hackathon which saw teams hack together, network and learn at the event workshops. The hybrid-event which is endorsed by the University of Cambridge welcomed over 400 developers in total with those who were unable to attend in person joining the event virtually.
The Huawei workshop was a hub of activity throughout the event as developers visited to network and learn. The theme of Machine Learning was covered at the workshop, with developers given insights on how Machine Learning can be used to create life-changing apps. Participants at the workshop had the opportunity to take a close look at the case study of Storysign, the app powered by Huawei AI that translates words into sign language, opening the world of reading to deaf children. Wearable tech was also on the agenda at the Huawei workshop as developers enjoyed a hands-on experience discovering how apps can be developed for Huawei Watches and what future trends are emerging in this sphere of technology.
The theme for the Huawei Challenge at the hackathon was related to climate action and sustainability, with participants encouraged to create a mobile app that used Huawei Mobile Services to promote an innovative and sustainable approach to help United Nation sustainability Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). The winning project was CarbonSee, an app built on HMS Core that allows users to accurately track and understand their carbon footprint with the power of Machine Learning. By scanning photos of every-day grocery shopping, the app gives a sense of which items contribute the most and least to climate change, helping inform the user’s actions to lessen their climate impact.
This year’s event was the first hybrid hosting of the hackathon since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and there was a sense of enthusiasm and excitement from the developers, sponsors and organisers. The event concluded with an award ceremony after the completion of the Expo in which the various teams presented a demo of their work and had the opportunity to view the innovative projects of other participants. Huawei Developers Advocates provided support and guidance to young developers and look forward to assisting them in showcasing their work at HSD events in the near future.
