HP holding TouchPad development workshops June 9th and 16th 11

by Derek Kessler Tue, 17 May 2011 8:12 pm EDT

Wondering when you as a developer would be able to get your hands on a TouchPad for that Enyo development testing you’ve been so longing to do? Wonder no longer, friend, for HP has the answer: June 9th or June 16th. Those would be the dates that you can get yourself to the bright Sunnyvale, California, Palm HQ for some hands-on training action.

The all-day events include breakfast and lunch (always a plus), technical sessions exploring programming with Enyo and the PDK, user interface and experience guidance, general meet and greet, and here’s the meat of the day’s sessions: five hours blocked off for the apps lab where you actually get to test your work on a TouchPad and one-on-one office hours with the webOS team.

Are you an interested developer? Of course you are. Head to the source link below to get yourself registered. Space is limited, so you’ll probably want to register sooner rather than later (that, and the first session is just three weeks out).

this has gotta happen post-release, right? If only select developers are getting the TP pre-release they cant hold workshops unless its available to all devs...i really hope we only have weeks to go!

I hope so too, End of the month :)))))

So if workshops are going to be held early, and mid June than the TP probably won't be released until the end of June or early July?

Hope this doesn't mean july release. Picked me up a Galaxy tab and really happy with it. May wait for the 7 in Touch Pad.

Somebody please develop a real note-taking app like Notes Plus for the iPad. Otherwise this "pad" is going to be accompanied by a pen and tablet for taking notes in a meeting.

Also, we really need working software to create and edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents.

I plan to us this for business. This is a message to developers: "Think like a business person and what would be useful in daily work activities...not what is cool or entertaining!"

Thanks for listening.

I 100% agree with you. I plan on getting one for business use as well.

YES! those same requests would go great for classes I take. Functional apps not just stuff to do while I'm on the toilet!

June 9th? That's the Pre's two year anniversary. I thought for sure the Pre 3 would be launched that day.

seems like they are gonna miss fathers day, but then again the could still launch and the dev events will be for seeing how your stuff works on a live product and may get an early push to the app cat. in time for launch day of the 19th :D ...thats a whole lot of wishful thinkin
