Getting to know the Android Developer Challenge finalists

Posted on 02:49 by Unknown
En Français

Last month, the five finalists of the Android Developer Challenge came together to share their experiences with the world via Google+ Hangouts.

Selected from a group of more than 200 submissions and 30 semi-finalists, the five finalists were Chike Maduegbuna, Bobola Oniwura and Tope Omotunde of AfriNolly (Nigeria); David Lemayian of Olalashe (Kenya); Gerald Kibugi of Shopper’s Delight (Kenya); Herko Lategan of Rainbow Racer (South Africa); and Richard Marsh of Wedding Plandroid (South Africa).

The interview was hosted by CP Africa, a popular African blog and Gbenga Sesan, Nigerian tech evangelist, who conducted the interview while sitting in the departure lounge of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos as he waited to board his flight to Addis Ababa.



Thanks to the power of the internet and Google+, the interview was held simultaneously in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa, in collaboration with three developer hubs: Umbono (Cape Town, South Africa), Co Creation Hub (Lagos, Nigeria) and iHub (Nairobi, Kenya). The finalists answered live questions and questions from people around the world including Ghana, Italy, Malaysia, Mali, Nigeria and Uganda using Google Moderator.

The top-voted question was on how to prioritize features when building an application, while another participant wanted to know what kind of changes the finalists hoped to create in Africa with their applications.

To learn more about the finalists for the Android Developer Challenge and their applications, please visit the new case studies section of the Google Africa Developers website. If you create solutions using Google services for developers (Google Apps, Chrome extensions, Android, App Engine, etc.) and want to share your story with the world, let us know!

À la rencontre des finalistes du Challenge des développeurs Android

Le mois dernier, les cinq finalistes du Android Developer Challenge se sont réunis pour partager leurs expériences avec le monde entier via Google+ Hangouts.

Sélectionnés parmi un groupe de plus de 200 candidats et 30 demi-finalistes, les cinq finalistes sont Chike Maduegbuna, Bobola Oniwura et Tope Omotunde d’ AfriNolly (Nigéria); David Lemayian de Olalashe (Kenya); Gerald Kibugi de Shopper’s Delight (Kenya); Herko Lategan de Rainbow Racer (Afrique du Sud) ; et Richard Marsh de Wedding Plandroid (Afrique du Sud).

L’interview a été organisée par CP Africa, blog populaire en Afrique et Gbenga Sesan, évangéliste technologique, qui a réalisé l’interview depuis le salon de départ de l’aéroport international Murtala Mohammed de Lagos en attendant d’embarquer pour Addis-Abeba.

Grâce à la puissance d’Internet et de Google+, l’interview a été diffusée simultanément au Nigéria, au Kenya et en Afrique du Sud, en collaboration avec trois hubs développeurs : Umbono (Le Cap, Afrique du Sud), Co Creation Hub (Lagos, Nigéria) et iHub (Nairobi, Kenya). Les finalistes ont répondu aux questions posées en direct et aux questions venant du monde entier, notamment du Ghana, d’Italie, de Malaisie, du Mali du Nigéria et de l’Ouganda grâce à Google Moderator.

La question la plus fréquemment posée concernait la manière de hiérarchiser les fonctionnalités lors de la construction d’une application tandis qu’un autre participant souhaitait savoir quels types de changements les finalistes espéraient produire en Afrique grâce à leurs applications.

Pour en savoir plus sur les finalistes du Challenge des développeurs Android et leurs applications, n’hésitez pas à consulter la rubrique nouvelle section Études de cas du site Google Africa Developers. Si vous créez des solutions à partir des services Google pour développeurs (Google Apps, Chrome extensions, Android, App Engine etc) et que vous souhaitez partager votre expérience avec le monde entier, laissez-nous savoir!
