NBIC Developers Circle


Developers Circle is mainly meant for people having projects related to software development, if they need help with the projects they are working on, if they have things they need to implement or anything about mobile application.

The group consists of manageble group of people but more people are welcome to attend. They will be meeting each Tuesday. It is intersting that people are working on project and it seems like so many people are eager to learn and to start new things. The programming language they will be working on is Java. The facilitator Dr. Kasper Jensen suggested that they are willing to help if anyone is having problem with the projects they are working on.

Sharing ideas in this workshop is the main key. Those people working on prototypes they want to commecialise or if they want to make a business out of it then they can go to NBIC. The interesting thing is that they want people to develop mobile applications as it will be a huge market in Namibia and for those people that want to play around with cool devices.

Fablab Namibia want people that can program chips for robots controlled by mobile phones (smartphones). But since these developers are experts hopefully they will be able to do massive programming.

Since in Namibia most of software are outsourced, they want to give these people skills so that everything can be done in Namibia and that they can pass on the skills to the next generation.
  


Social Media Circle in Youth paper (the Namibian)

 
Here we are again, in the youth paper. It is such a good thing that we are all gaining some publicity and this types of workshops are just making our lives much easier. Being introduced to things we didn't know for free is just awesome. We must always thank those that are willing to help and making Namibia a better place and hopefully we will do the same thing for those that didn't get such chances. 

Attending this workshop was a risk we took. And we shouldn't forget that one will never learn if they don't take risks. "The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare". We know this is just the beginning of the whole thing .Thank you NBIC and  RLabs.
