How To Win Bada Developer Challenge

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.
