Android and MeeGo Developer Training Courses Announced by Linux Foundation

Six new training courses dedicated to Android and MeeGo application development have just been announced by the nonprofit organization Linux Foundation. Both Linux-based mobile operating systems are considered the leading platforms in the mobile devices market, each with its own role.

While Android is currently the world's dominant operating system for smartphones, MeeGo is providing the foundation for next-generation computing devices such as mobile PCs, netbooks, tablets and mediaphones.

“We continue to see unprecedented demand for Linux expertise from our members and the industry at large. The Linux Foundation Training Program gives professionals a unique learning opportunity to build their resume with the most sought-after skills,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation.

“We're happy to be able to offer Android and MeeGo developer training to equip professionals with the best skills to further their careers and to accelerate development efforts of Linux in the mobile computing market,” added Zemlin.

The Linux Foundation's Training Program consists of corporate, custom, compliance, virtual, as well as in-person courses.

In addition, the program includes a free training webinar series, which was built in collaboration with the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board.

The free training comprises leading maintainers from the Linux community and provides a technically advanced learning opportunity for members.

According to Linux Foundation, the Android and MeeGo developer courses will help meet new demands for Linux training and will provide attendees with job opportunities at one of The Linux Foundation's member companies.

The Linux Foundation is also offering a MeeGo-specific course at its Linux Foundation Annual Collaboration Summit and the first 20 people to register by March 1st will receive a special invitation to also attend all three days of the Collaboration Summit.

This is an exclusive, invitation-only event usually reserved for members and the Linux development community.
