Tomorrow, Tekedia will answer that question. Visit here for our report on why the bubble is getting nearer. We have looked at data and analyzed patterns and surprisingly, most valuations are inflated. There is trouble.
Students’ Training on Android and Embedded System/Microcontroller Design
This is a proposal
This proposal covers all parts of Nigeria. It is targeted to engineering, science and business students interested in learning Apps development and/or embedded systems. It is from Fasmicro – the leader in development and training in Apps and microelectronics in Nigeria.
What we want to Offer you
Bearing in mind that technology advances every day, mobile computing is not left out. It is pertinent that graduates from your department are conversant with and able to fit into the mobile computing world. There are two modules on offer – Android and Embedded system/microcontroller.
Android training: this training offers your students the opportunity of learning how to program android operating system, design and implement apps. (Applications) for the android operating system and run these apps on OVIM tablet pc.
Embedded system/ microcontrollers training: this training offers your students the opportunity of learning how to design, develop and implement dedicated electronics devices using microcontrollers. They will learn software development in assembly language, microcontroller device development, introduced to interfacing with computer USB port. e.t.c
How we Train
All our trainings are practical based. We provide free Android simulator and emulator that we use for Android training; we provide the PIC development boards, IDE and PICKIT2 programmer that we use for the embedded system/Microcontroller module. Trainees may take notes as all training materials are soft copies.
Each module is a one week program. We use 3 hours a day for 5 days to deliver a practical intensive course.
Considering that we place no limitation on the number of students who may want to acquire know-how of these technologies, *FASMICRO sends her staff to the venue provided by the Department. Bearing in mind that students have other lectures to attend, each of the training lasts only 3 hours a day.
The training can also be adapted to fit any conditions your organization wants. In as much it will not affect the quality of our services.
*This is applicable if we will come to the school to conduct the training.
What you get
We will do a one day free seminar on the relevance and importance of Android and microcontroller/embedded system development for the student body i.e SEEES or NCSS (electrical engineering, computer science, etc).
Your students will acquire the most current knowledge on android and embedded system/ microcontroller device development. This will in turn make the students to be more aware and able to design and develop software and devices using these technologies and hence they will be more marketable when they leave school.
The Department gets 1 (one) OVIM tablet pc if up to 100 students come for the training. It may be in the lab for further use by the students.
Cost
The price is set considering the limited resources of students. Each student pays N6, 000.00 (Six Thousand Naira) only per module. A student that pays for both modules gets 10% discount i.e he pays N10,800.00 (Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Naira) only.
Registration
Pay into our bank account:
Union Bank Plc account #: 1071020017503
Account owner: First Atlantic Semiconductors & Microelectronics Ltd
You can also visit our office and make payment. Please after bank deposit/payment, send your name and photocopy of bank teller to Fasmicro office on #124A Okigwe Road, Owerri or our Lagos office in Allen Avenue Ikeja.
Conclusion
Knowledge is the tool that gives a man competitive edge over his colleagues. In the field of computers/ communication Engineering, keeping up with advances in hardware and software gives the competitive edge. FASMICRO offers that competitive edge.
Knowledge of Android and embedded system/microcontroller is indispensable in mobile computing software and hardware. FASMICRO offers your students an opportunity to become very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions using these technologies. Acquiring know-how of these technologies helps to bridge the technology gap and makes those who have it more marketable.

Apps World Africa, June, Cape Town – Tekedia Is Planning To Attend
Tekedia management is in talk with the organizers of Apps World Africa to attend this program in South Africa. The program holds this June. We hope to cover the event and bring the latest progress on apps development in Africa. More details will be provided ….
“The global Apps World series of conferences and expos provide a forum for mobile operators, handset providers, regulators, application developers and marketing professionals to explore the fast moving world of applications for mobile. For the Africa event we will also be looking at mobile money as a key feature in the development of the apps industry”, writes Natasha Gwilliam,Head of Conferences, Six Degrees – the organizers – in an email communication to us.
To those that referred Tekedia to the organizers, thank you. We are thrilled that people are noticing the unique space we are trying to fill in Africa’s emerging technology landscape.
Kenyan Built Nokia App – AroundMe – Is A Business Locator. India Tops Downloads
AroundMe allows you to easily and quickly find important businesses and services in your surrounding or any other location with your Nokia phone.
For example, you can find restaurants, banks, gas stations, and other local services with ease. View maps, directions, routes, street view, read reviews or call the business if contacts are available.
From a posting on Mobile Monday Kenya, this is what the trend looks like:
AroundMe allows you to easily and quickly find important businesses and services in your surrounding or any other location with your Nokia phone. For example, you can find restaurants, banks, gas stations, and other local services with ease. Users are able to view maps, directions, routes, street view, read reviews or call the business if contacts are available. Very cool. James revealed to me on a phone chat that the interest on the app around the world is just phenomenon. In the last three weeks the app has been downloaded more than 17,000 times.
He listed to me the top ten countries leading in downloading the app as follows
#1 India
#2 Italy
#3 Germany
#4 Thailand
#5 Turkey
#6 United Kingdom
#7 Brazil
#8 Spain
#9 Russian Federation
#10 Australia
Yeah, the app was done with Kenya in mind but as you can see, Kenya is not even in the picture.
Currently it runs on Symbian^3 and S60 devices. More devices are in the road map including s40 which will give more people access to the app. Good stuff
