more bada tutorial videos coming soon!

Just a quick update to let you know we've got a couple of bada videos in production at the moment for the badadevelopers YouTube channel. We've upgraded our production software to Final Cut Pro 10.0 (which is awesome!) so we will finally be able to have someone running through the IDE, while its on fire. Or so I am told.

Lights, camera, erm....

Our very own Keith Bauwise will show you how to make the most of video in your apps, and of course we are working on an epic magnum opus of a bada 2.0 video, to make sure you can hit the ground running as soon as its released. The bada 2.0 video is going to be really special (no pressure Jon) and I'm really chuffed with the early results.

Best get to work on them now!!

So lean back, turn your phone face down and get up to speed with bada!

As they say in the movies, thanks for watching!

We start with a short introduction to location-based services, and how they can be realised in bada.
