InformIT has published a really good series by David Chisnall on influential programming languages: ALGOL, Simula, Smalltalk and Lisp. Highly recommended!

‘Extending the Hildon desktop’ at the Maemo Summit 2009

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I’ll be hosting a BoF session on extending Maemo 5’s new desktop at the Maemo Summit 2009 in Amsterdam next weekend. It’ll be held in the 770 room on Sunday at 12:00.

Here are some documentation pointers for Hildon desktop extenders:

In preparation for the event, I’d love to hear from people interested in the Hildon desktop, and specially from people developing home and status menu widgets.

Updated: The final Maemo 5 SDK has been released, I’ve changed the libhildondesktop link to the newest version.
