Come over to The Nerdery to learn about Building Apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Come join us at The Nerdery at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 28th and learn all about building apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook from nerd-emeritus, Chris Black. Chris is an Interactive Developer who focuses on ActionScript development with Adobe Flex and AIR.

Chris’ presentation will show you how to leverage your existing skills to build apps for the PlayBook using HTML5 or Adobe AIR. In this session Chris will size up the PlayBook to the competition and cover everything you’ll need to get started with the BlackBerry Tablet OS. You’ll see how to build an AIR app from scratch, test using the PlayBook simulator, and walk through the steps for submitting to the BlackBerry App World. To conclude, Chris will show you how to cross compile the application to run on Android and iOS.

This presentation will be filled with demos showing the capabilities of the brand new AIR 2.6 SDK, and you’ll see how to cross compile to three different platforms in a single click.

Are you in? It’s bound to be a lot of fun. If you want to come on over to The Nerdery leave us a comment so we know how much pizza to order (yeah, there’ll be free pizza).
