Codetown ::: a software developer's community
The Africa Android Challenge is all about the software development lifecycle. We'll go from concept to launch on each of the projects. The idea is to come up with a concept and develop it to completion.
We will share everything we learn. It's a great opportunity to learn about Android development and software development in general. You'll also build community by participating.
This group has discussions in the Discussion Forum, an RSS feed (the "Reading List"), a place to post comments and you'll see individual pages here, too.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

NVIDIA has announced a new family of open models called NVIDIA Ising, designed to address quantum processor calibration and quantum error correction. These are two of the main engineering challenges limiting the scalability of current quantum systems, where noise and instability in qubits reduce the reliability of computations.

Platform success depends on written principles that endure change while embracing change as the main design force, to enable teams to build, run, and release software.
