A WeekThat Started with A BlackBerry Party and Ends with a BlackBerry Event

Monday, December 10, 2012, Mam Linda and I traveled miles to take part in the first ever pinoyBBDev Christmas Party with a Rock Star theme. Gordon College was high lighted for being the school to roll out the BlackBerry Academic Program in the Philippines. Thank You pinoyBBDev

Enjoyed the games, joined every game there is

December 15 - 16, 2012 the BlackBerry All Aboard Port-A-Thon opened, and the Mobile Innovators Club is up the task, by the 2nd day 20 apps were successfully uploaded to the BlackBerry Appworld. Congratulations.

Day 2 of the Port-A-Thon

A few hours left before the Port-A-Thon ends and students  are finalizing  apps from BlackBerry Playbook  to port to BB10.

Faculty members guide students on Design Principles for Mobile Application.  

aside from design the business side of application is also important as being discussed by co-faculty member Ms. Imelda Abad 

I then end my week of BlackBerry Jam goodness with Mooch  in a beautiful view of Olongapo City, enjoying Milk Tea

To describe the BlackBerry Jam as "Amazing" would be an understatement.

Attending the laboratory session and the plenary sessions, absorbing every bit as much as I can to  echo to my students. I learned a lot. It was quite the experience to rub elbows with developers of software you use in your work. It was like having technical support not through phone or email but beside you. 

Random Stuff from Siam!
