This week is, of course, Mobile World Congress. Some years ago, this wouldn’t have mattered so much to programmers, but as our computers have become increasingly mobile, and our phones have become ever more powerful, this event is where developers can see the platforms that their customers will want to use tomorrow. eWeek has an [...]I’m a huge fan of Douglas Adams, whose stories combined science, technology and comedy and who most famously created the Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy, which had ‘Don’t Panic’ written in large, friendly letters on the cover. Inspired by this vision, a team came together to create the Mobile Developer’s Guide to the Galaxy (PDF) [...]Canonical has announced that it’s bringing its Ubuntu Linux OS to multicore Android devices. What’s interesting about this is that it’s a new use case that exploits the extra power of multicore in handheld devices.

It takes place on Wednesday 7th March at 10am UK time, and you can register for free here. The webinar will cover: The most exciting HTML5 [...]You might remember that one of the new features that came in with Visual Studio last year was C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP). Microsoft has now published the C++ AMP specification (PDF) to encourage others to implement it on any platform. It’s interesting to see the spec pushed out like this, before it’s even [...]Developers are invited to join Intel for an exclusive half-day event taking place in Barcelona on Tuesday 28th February, near to Mobile World Congress. The event gives you an opportunity to find out about the opportunities the Intel architecture creates for you, including business opportunities with Android and software distribution through various channels. You will [...]
