However, my focus has recently shifted to <strong>PyMaemo<\/strong>, the Maemo version of the Python programming language. This new environment presents a steep learning curve, as the user interface is quite different from what I\u2019m used to on Symbian phones.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend, I started studying and practicing <strong>PyGtk+<\/strong>. I\u2019ve managed to create a few basic &#8220;Hello World!&#8221; apps, but as you can imagine, that\u2019s just the beginning. There\u2019s still a lot to learn before I can develop more complex and useful projects.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I\u2019ve really come to appreciate is the N810\u2019s educational capabilities. It\u2019s an excellent tool for learning, arguably even better than a Kindle. The high screen resolution makes reading PDF books a pleasure, and I\u2019ve been using the <strong>Xournal<\/strong> application to take notes and collect code snippets.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my work with PyMaemo, I\u2019m also learning electronics using the Arduino microprocessor. With the N810\u2019s USB Host Mode capability, I can connect the Arduino directly to the tablet. Once I get the USB input-to-output converter, I plan to start working on establishing a serial connection between the Arduino and the N810.<\/p>\n<p>This device has truly opened up new avenues for both learning and development, and I\u2019m excited to continue exploring its potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, It&#8217;s been almost two weeks since I got my new device\u2014the N810 Internet Tablet (aka NIT, Webpad).
