Good afternoon.
In August of last year I started writing an Ubuntu Touch programming course. Now I am translating it into English. You can see the content of the course (until now) in the next panel of Trello.
I have written about generic topics with QML and JavaScript at the moment. The same code can work on the desktop, both in GNU / Linux and WIndows.
Do you have any suggestions? I hope to translate one delivery per month although it depends on the free time you have.
Goodnight.
For personal reasons I had the course stopped. Although I have been preparing documentation in the meantime, I have not published it yet. I will make some changes that affect the course:
I will keep you informed of the news.
A greeting.
Good afternoon.
I just published a new chapter of the course. This chapter explains how Clickable works and how to use Clickable to create a desktop application and an application that runs on Ubuntu Touch.
There are some changes in the course:
I hope you like it.
Good afternoon.
These last two months have been a little chaotic and I have not been able to devote time to the course. If I have no problems, I will publish two chapters at the end of the week.
Good evening.
I have already published the next course chapter:
- The Row Layout
- Grid Layout
- Color Settings
- Changing the Button Size
Good afternoon.
You can now download the resources I used in the UbuconParis 2017 workshop. The virtual machine has the following features:
The credentials are:
Links are public. I would ask you to download the resources using the short link because that way I can have some statistics.
It is possible, in the future, to add new elements to the virtual machine. It all depends on the suggestions you make. If you have any problems with the file you can indicate it in this thread.
I hope to publish new translations of the course next week. When the English and Spanish versions are ready, I will create new content.for both.
Hi guys
I am Miguel Menéndez (mimecar) and I have worked with Ubuntu Touch since its launch. I work among other things as a Java programmer and in my spare time I am writing an Ubuntu Touch programming course. I started in August last year in Spanish and I am translating it into English right now.
For the course chapters I have already written (webapps and QML) I see that it is simple to program for Ubuntu Touch. The problem is to have a bit of basic. QML is not complicated and you can program applications quite quickly.
I hope I can help continue Ubuntu Touch and maintain the incredible community behind.
A greeting.
I comment you the state of the chapter:
I have to review the text and edit the chapter. I'll let you know when I have it published. I do not know if it will give me time to finish it this weekend.
PD: I have published the source code that generates the book. It is also in GitHub (Book)
Good afternoon.
I have dedicated this week to analyzing the different options that I have. For the facilities that it gives, I will use ReadTheDocs. Although it does not give me as much control as the other options (LaTeX, LibreOffice, etc.), it allows me to fulfill the needs that I have:
I'm going to dedicate this month to migrate the course to ReadTheDocs. Next month there would be new delivery of the course. I still do not know if it will be at the beginning or at the end of the month.
Good afternoon.
I wanted to comment on the status of the programming course. For personal reasons I have left the course on hold. In these moments with the day to day I already have enough.
I have reviewed the GitBook server and I see that several things have changed. Now the course is within the "legacy" subdomain and some functions like the start page have been disabled. The book can be updated but with several conditions:
For these reasons I am considering changing the platform of the course. It does not convince me to generate documentation only in HTML format. The platforms that I see reasonable are:
Of the three platforms I see more powerful LaTeX. It is true that it does more work than using Markdown + GitBook, but it also allows you to better adjust the output in all formats.
What is your opinion?
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.
Hi guys.
At the end of the week I'll be uploading the resources I used at Ubucon Paris 2017. The virtual machine uses Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and has the SDK ready to work. Just download the file, configure VirtualBox and start programming applications.
The link to the presentation is temporary, when I publish it I will update the link.

I hope at the end of the month to upload the translations of several course sessions. My intention is to match the Spanish and English versions before continuing with the new content.
Good afternoon.
I'm preparing the next version of the virtual machine. The changes you will have are:
The virtual machine has the following features:
The credentials are:
Links are public. I would ask you to download the resources using the short link because that way I can have some statistics.
Do you want me to add another option? I hope to publish the next version before Christmas.
New packages:
Good afternoon.
I've posted a new course block. While the previous blocks worked with the Ubuntu Touch SDK, native applications will be programmed in this block on the desktop. There is also a new application that I hope you will be interested in programming.

This month I hope to publish more content I have pending. I will inform you about the news in this forum thread.

Good afternoon.
Sorry for taking so long to fix it. The last few weeks I have been quite busy and I have not been able to dedicate time to projects. There was a problem with the DNS and it's fixed now. The link to the course should work fine.
If you are starting you can download the virtual machine I prepared for the programming course. It has everything set up and you don't have to make any modifications to the system to start working. You can connect to a phone / tablet even if you use the virtual machine.
Good evening.
I have uploaded the translation of the chapter "Formatting label and events". I'll upload the source code next week. I have another collaboration from Fulvio pending and I hope to upload it next week.

Goodnight.
I just published the translation of two new chapters of the course:
You can read them in the course book
Goodnight.
First of all I want to apologize for having the course so stopped. At the end of April an event occurred that has affected me a lot. For that reason, anything that is not day to day has been stopped. Little by little I'm recovering but it's hard for me to continue.
In my planning I thought I would have migrated the course to Sphinx at the end of September. This has not been possible and I think that for the moment I will continue with GitBook. I will move to the new version even if I lose the documentation in PDF / ePub format. Later I'll make the migration to Sphinx.
@shelllavie, I write down the changes and add them in the next update. If you see that I forget to do it, you remind me.
@Pulsar33, Sorry for not answering. I read the forum but I have to take time to answer. I have not checked if the new SDK works, but remember that you can use the version that exists in the virtual machine of the course.
If I have an answer for answering, don't hesitate to ask me. I will try to answer on the same day.
Greetings.
