Listen up people of Tunisia - The BlackBerry 10 Mini Jam is coming your way. Being held on November 28th in El Ghazala it is the perfect opportunity for developers to learn about getting set for the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 platform.
Beginner and master mobile application developers will be able to attend in-depth breakout sessions focused on Native C/C++ development for the BlackBerry 10 platform. Places are strictly limited and therefore registrations are subject to availability. The Event Organisers will consider registrations on a first-come, first-served basis. Any unsuccessful registrations will be notified with 48hrs.
The BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour has been a huge success at every location the developer relations team have been on their travels. I have virtually no knowledge of developing but even I enjoyed the BB10 Jam London event that I attended - there is a buzz about it and developers are excited. There is always a decent percentage of iOS and Android devs at the events so it isn't just for current BlackBerry devs. So if you are in Tunisia and fancy a slice of the BlackBerry 10 pie get in quick. Places are limited.

Pastry Push is a deceptively simple puzzle game where players have to slide a cupcake into a monster's mouth through a series of teacup. Players are scored out of three stars based on how many swipes they make, and are challenged to pick up bonus...
BlackBerry Sweden's tilt UI demo lets you glance at information in table reflection
This is by far the coolest thing that I saw at BlackBerry Jam Asia 2013. Our good friend Gary Klassen, inventor of BBM, had a session on Tilt UI, a part of Cascades that's available now and allows developers to use device orientation to show useful information. This hearkens back to something the old TAT crew made years ago called Horizon. In one demo app, users can keep tabs on...
BlackBerry's Alec Saunders: "We're definitely not going away"
We caught up with Alec Saunders, VP of Developer Relations, at BlackBerry Jam Asia to gauge the sentiment of local developers and figure out how BlackBerry's developer strategy is evolving. If you watched the keynote, you'll certainly notice that the overall angle was new. OS 10.2 has been in the hands of developers for awhile, so Jam Asia wasn't so much about launching new tools, but...
