Blackberry Tablet OS: Development Resources, Guides, Tutorials [closed]

Question

Following the recent announcement of the new Blackberry Tablet OS, it's SDK and Simulator, any ideas where one could find resources and tutorials on how to develop for their new tablet OS? It will be nice for once to catch the wave on time.

Word, on catching the wave. But really, I'd be happy getting a free PlayBook out of this.. :) – Search

Answer 1

It could be useful to learn more about the different components used in Blackberry Tablet OS, like:

• QNX Neutrino, the kernel
• Adobe AIR
• OpenGL ES

You can also look at this:

Attention

I could also add SQLite and Webkit, which are both embedded in AIR. But I don't know how you can use them outside from AIR, as this OS can also be programmed in C and probably Java, for example... – Attention

I know an answer has been accepted already, but I figured there will be a lot of readers coming to this post, so let's keep it coming

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/21866/BlackBerry_Tablet_OS_SDK_for_Adobe_AIR-Getting_Started_Guide--1348721-1021122745-001-1.0_Beta-US.pdf

also when you are building for mobile devices(including tablets) keep in mind that it's not all just about compiling in air. There are a lot of things you can do to optimize AIR. Would be nice to know which of these features are supported by Tablet OS, aand hard to test until you get a playbook.Anyhow check this out too: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/fpmobile.html

Mike Chambers did a couple talks on optimization, so do check this out too if you're planning on making games. http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2010/07/14/source-code-for-pewpew-released/
