Since there was some interest on this list about an Android
discussion, I thought I'd pass this along.  DC ACM is offering Android
and iPhone training next month.  Details below.

The Washington DC Chapter of the ACM (DC ACM) is pleased to announce
its Fall 2010 Professional Development Seminar on November 20-21,
2010. Since 1968, DCACM has been offering these Professional
Development Seminars that provide high-quality lectures and hands-on
learning on topics of current interest to the local IT community for a
relatively low cost.  The proceeds from the seminars support DC ACM
activities such as computer science lectures for the general public
and awards for junior and senior high school students at regional
science fairs.

For this seminar, DC ACM will offer courses on mobile application
development. According to IDC's projections, worldwide shipments of
converged mobile devices, also known as smartphones, will surpass 390
million units.[1]  Neilsen also predicts that by 2012, 50% of the
wireless phone subscribers within the US will be using a
smartphone.[2]  This growing demand for these feature-rich devices
will require new applications in order to take advantage of these
mobile device platforms.

On November 20th and 21st, DC ACM will offer courses on 2 popular US
smartphone platforms - Google's Android and Apple's iPhone. For
further information regarding the course syllabus, sponsorship
opportunities, and registration, visit the following web links:
