Getting started with the Midgard content repository

I’m doing a talk today in the Bossa Conference about using Midgard as a content repository for mobile applications. As part of my presentation I wrote some simple example code for using the Midgard APIs in Python , and thought they would be good to share to those not attending the event as well. The idea of a content repository is that instead of coming up with new, isolated file formats or database setups for your application you can just work with objects and signals, and let Midgard handle the rest.

What our Trainees Learn

After our successful year of training at Openismus, I thought I’d publish the rough bullet-point list that we used.

Long live the N900 – a word on battery life
