Developing apps for Ubuntu Touch

[markalexa]

Hey all,

this is probably question for Ubuntu core devs. So hopefully this topic will find them well. I've been using Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5 for several days now and I gotta say, I'm impressed. Obviously Ubuntu Touch can't compete with Android or iOS but something tells me this isn't the community's main objective. All in all I strongly believe Ubuntu Touch has a great potential for people who seek privacy-minded smartphone. To get to the point. I've got some experience programming in Python and I'm interested in developing an app for Ubuntu Touch. Could you refer me or direct me to materials that I need to study in order to get grasp on how development works on Ubuntu Touch ?

Cheers !

Mark

Thanks for the link. Python isn't currently supported for app development for Ubuntu Touch, I'm afraid.
