Welcome to the first App development Contest for Maemo devices.
Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your N900? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the extras repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues?
Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!
If you are new to programming or want to learn, here's the excuse to finally make something. Anything. Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely, easily, and is targeted at the N900 platform. Don't make a virus kthx.
The winning application(s) will be decided by forum poll after the closing date of July 21st, 2010.
Entries are now being submitted. Good luck and most of all have fun!

Getting started with N900 development
The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [6]. The development wiki is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[7] thread is a great tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[8]. The key is to get started, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Beginners are definitely welcome in this comp, great oaks from little acorns grow..
The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[9] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.
