| |  Write a PlayBook app in 24 hours
This morning I got up bright and early, and decided to do a little experiment: "Can I write a fully functioning PlayBook app, fit for sale, in 24 hours?"
I also decided to give running updates on my progress via Twitter. If you're interested, follow me at @brainsforrent. or check the hashtag #playbook24. It should be fun. UPDATE #1: the app is done, and a transcript of the #playbook24 twitter stream can be found here: A PlayBook app in 24 hours (or less) UPDATE #2: the app has been approved by App World, and can be found here: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/88379/

Good luck. Looks like you are going to build a tif reader. Sounds good.

i'd like to write a fairly simple app. i am no programmer by any means; i was a sysems builder when i did IT. i had a look thru the APIs offered in the native sdk and didn't find one to hook into the clock/timer.
i gave up. too bad, as my little app would be valuable in my community, on both phones and tablets.
and i figured it would be quick and easy to write so i could submit it in time for the free playbook offer

What's your dev background qnd what language will you use?
EDIT: AIR and C, ok.
I really hope you can, specially considering the free-PB thingie only lasts till the 13th.

i have little programming experience. let's say typing basic programs on a ti-99 4a.
actually, i did take comp sci in high school, so i understand code like fortran and pascal. it's like html to me. i understand html fine. i can read it and tell you what it does. i just can't write it.
a friend has a business web site where he wants to change a phone number. i have the page edited, but it's done in css and won't save right for me.
originally i was going to write the app for android using google's dev tool, then port it. it would have a larger audience that way. coding it in html 5 looks like i could write it for bb phones and the playbook in one shot.
is there a more detailed api listing available? i've looked at rim's dev site and didn't find what i think i need.
even if i did find what i needed i don't think i'd make the deadline now. too much other stuff on the go. need to have my sailboat fixed up to go back in the water in a few weeks, and there is overtime starting in the shipyard i work in.
maybe crackberry needs a dev forum for phone and tablet programming

no, i want a simple app that is lacking in the sailing community, more so on blackberry than other brands.
the free tablet would be a bonus, as i'd use my app on board my race boat with it.
i already have a 32gb playbook.

You can do it. I punched out 4 apps in 7 days this week. And they are free - quality apps too. But for 24 hour turn around you need to really know your code, have code bases (in my case I have a dozen apps I made to use as a base) and a clearly outlined storyboard and goal.
The slowest part of my apps was the graphic design and recording music. That always slows me down and takes up half the day.
