Native Developers at BlackBerry DevCon Americas

Developing for the powerful BlackBerry® platform makes it easy to reach a community of 70 million subscribers!

Here are some key reasons why Native Developers attended the conference:

  1. Games are Easier on the BlackBerry Platform. Attendes went to sessions focused on developing apps using the BlackBerry® Native SDK (NDK), including high performing games in Session DEV15 with community presenters from Marmalade and Unity Technologies. They found out about the power of the QNX platform, what tools are accessible including the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ Tablet OS features such as SQlite and OpenGL, and how easy it can be to develop a successful game.
  2. Attendees saw Successful Apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet. Many presenters like Eudaimonia and Magmic are successful game developers. Attendees heard about their work to develop games in North America and Latin America and how the BlackBerry Payment Service and the BlackBerry Advertising Service are used to commercialize game applications.
  3. Attendees heard from the Visionaries. Outstanding game designer and futurist, Jane McGonigal, spoke on how epic missions, wins and collaborative problem-solving in gaming can be used to find solutions in the real world in
    Session COM28 and she gave feedback on attendees' apps in Session COM29.
  4. Fast Tracked Apps into BlackBerry App World™. The App Express area helped developers port existing Android apps and HTML5 apps to the BlackBerry platform
