Canonical launches Ubuntu App Developer platform for curious coders

Creating apps for Ubuntu is set to get loads easier, now that the folk over at Canonical have launched the Ubuntu App Developer platform. At the new site, developers will find guides, tutorials and other resources to assist them create apps specifically for the Linux OS , or to port other apps to the platform. Once finalized, these apps can then be published at the Ubuntu Software Centre, where developers can decide to either offer them at no cost, or at a cost. In announcing the recent platform, community member David Planella predicted that it’ll offer a “unified and consistent journey for both open-source, non-commercial and commercial app authors.” He went directly to acknowledge, however, that there is still a lot of work to be done: “For all its current awesomeness, we’re aware that the location must pass the test of a much broader audience, adapt to their needs, and grow.” Discover more on the source link, below.
