How To Win Bada Developer Challenge
June 24th, 2010 
Dane A guest post written by Rison Simon.
I won the bada developer challenge! Well not yet! This is the reaction I want from you after the bada developer challenge ends. Some say its impossible, but if you really want to win this challenge you will win. But to win the bada developer challenge you will need more than just passion, you need to work. Well, its not just work, its about how you work. So you want to win bada developer? In this post I will try to explain how you can win the bada developers challenge.
Step 1:
First of all you need to join bada developers. Its not rocket science but you need to join to enter the competition. When you first join the site you are automatically joined to basic mode. Now that you have joined the site, you need to download bada SDK ( Software Development Kit ). Samsung releases latest versions of SDK from time to time. Make sure you keep up with the updates. The SDK will include various APIs (Application Programming Interface ), tools like IDE, debugger, UI builder and simulator.
Step 2:
Now that you have the SDK, its time to build that bada app. You can stir up your imagination to think of all sorts of applications. But creating any application will not guarantee your success. We should develop such an application that will appeal to the users. You can read create
popular apps to win bada to help you with what type of app to build. So have you decided what type of app to build?
Step 3:
This is the hard part.In this part you need to do on your own. This you need to “develop bada app”. You need to build the app using the SDK that we just downloaded. If you have any trouble you can contact me. Hope you have build a good app.
So many bada developer days- but why?
June 22nd, 2010 Rison Simon From time to time we hear many bada developer days being announced by Samsung in different cities around the world. But why would Samsung create so many developer days when bada developers site already has many tutorials?
If you ask Samsung why they take the pain to organize the developer days they will reply like this, ” The event has been designed to encourage bada application development and assist relevant developers and their communities. The bada developer day is structured around bada platform programming samples configured for specific technologies and applications based on bada platform SDK, and a variety of demonstrations using real mobile phones”.
If you had followed what I just said, you should able to understand that basically Samsung wants to promote bada development. Also use should know that the bada developer day is intended to provide the bada developers to experience the apps in real mobile phones. Bada being a new OS, it requires more care so that the developers are able to create apps with more ease.
The bada developer day will include technical sessions such as how to write bada application, some bada applications demo on Samsung Wave phone etc. Besides it also provides an opportunity for the bada developers to build your network with fellow bada developers, Samsung bada developer team and Samsung executives. After all it is open for all developers and its free. But you need to register at bada developer site. So why not check out the bada developer day at your city.

Unable to use Kies: Problem Solved
June 22nd, 2010 Rison Simon Last day I received a message from Divakarla Srinivas saying that he was unable to use Samsung kies properly with Samsung Wave. It seems many bada developer beginners have been experiencing the same problem. It is under this circumstance I decided to present this post.
To make Samsung Kies work you need the Wave to be idle. It means that no applications should be running. To close applications, you can press the center key of Wave and select to close all applications in the menu that appears.
Another thing to make sure before using Samsung kies is that your Wave is put in Samsung kies mode. You can do that by going to menu -> settings -> connectivity -> usb. This should solve most of the problem. If the problem still persists, you can always contact me and I will email you back in one or two days.
