Developer Documentation

bhdouglass

Hello fellow developers!

The UBports App Dev Steering committee has recently started efforts to improve the app developer documentation. The improvements are not just geared at onboarding new developers, but they are also for experienced developers. The first step in this long journey was the publishing of a revamped app dev page in the UBports docs. But there are several holes in it still! We've identified several areas where a tutorial would be useful and created a project in GitLab to track them. If you are interested in creating documentation/tutorials check out the project on GitLab and/or join our UBAD Discussion Group on matrix.

We want to make Ubuntu Touch the best development platform out there! We appreciate your help and support!

Hi @bhdouglass ,
juts to don't have some duplicated contents, some time ago I have written two chapters with samples for QML course of mimecar:

"Database access with QML"
text: https://mimecar.gitbooks.io/ubuntu-touch-programming-course/content/en/chapter-05-s01.html
Sample source: https://github.com/mimecar/ubuntu-touch-programming-course-src/tree/master/WeatherRecorder
"QML and Charts"
text: https://mimecar.gitbooks.io/ubuntu-touch-programming-course/content/en/chapter-05-s02.html
Sample cource: https://github.com/mimecar/ubuntu-touch-programming-course-src/tree/master/WeatherRecorderChart

If you want fork them and/or move to your new documentation portal for me there are no problems, but please ask before
at @mimecar if agree (i have only written that chapters but he is the maintainer/owner of the course).
Tnx

@fulvio awesome stuff! I believe @mimecar is converting the course to another format, so I'll let him decide if he wants to integrate it into docs.ubports.com.

Goodnight

Time passes and I do not have time to finish the migration to Sphinx. For now I will continue with GitBook (with the new version). Later I'll make the migration to Sphinx.

Is the matrix chat group active? Any chance to get it bridged to an IRC channel on Freenode?

AppLee

@poVoq Yes matrix chat group is bridged with Telegram APP Development group and active.

poVoq

@AppLee could it also be bridged to IRC? I use neither Matrix nor Telegram

Also the telegram to #ubports on freenode bridge seems down atm.

@poVoq It is probably doable, but I don't know who can...
