With an exciting eye-opener article on 5 Reasons Why You Should Develop for BlackBerry Platform in Nigeria by @Jesseoguns, you should know by now that it is a must for you to develop for BlackBerry as a developer – at least it is worth consideration.
ccHub and BlackBerry saw the need to have an enabling environment – knowledge and resource, for developers, and have gone ahead to providing a platform where developers can acquire BlackBerry application developing skills from a 4-day intensive training workshop for advanced BlackBerry developers in Nigeria fully sponsored by RIM.
This programme consists of two days classroom based hands-on training, followed by a one day of additional labs and support from the trainer to work on trainees own projects
