Remember the Python for S60? Want to learn it? Jürgen Scheible, a researcher, engineer, programmer, project manager, music and video artist, prepared a page with lots of useful information on the subject. First of all, Jürgen wrote an extensive Python for Series 60 tutorial. It covers such issues as SMS, sound management, bluetooth, networking, graphics drawings, camera, image handling, XML, GUI design, database issues, etc.

Beside the written word, you can also learn by watching Jürgen’s educational movies. At the moment, 3 videos are available:

  • Python S60 workshop given by Jurgen Scheible @ UIAH Media Lab, Helsinki.
  • Python S60 workshop given by Jurgen Scheible @ Berkeley University, California / Yahoo Research Labs Berkeley
  • Comments by people who use PyS60

I encourage all the developers out there to start using the Python, as it is the de facto technology supported by the major player, namely Nokia. And I expect to see more PyS60 applications in the near future. In the meantime, visit MobiLenin, the Jürgen Scheible’s site, for more information.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
