We hope you had a fabulous time at BeMyApp weekend! It sounds like you all created some pretty incredible apps in a shockingly short time.
Now that you have a moment to breathe, we hope you can take a minute to play around with the CloudBees Platform as a Service (PaaS). We think you’ll be amazed at how fast and easy it is to build and deploy your mobile apps – and regular Java apps – in the cloud. We also invite you to get your own free e-Book to learn more about PaaS.
BlackBerry is an open platform that provides a variety of development languages and runtimes designed to fit your skills.Your choice will be based on a combination of familiarity, possibly having a pre-existing codebase as well as the target devices you wish to serve:
· Choose C/C++ Native SDK if you have a game or app with an existing C/C++ codebase and you wish to bring it to PlayBook and the BB10 platform.
· Use your existing JavaScript/CSS/HTML skills to bring your app to existing smartphone, PlayBook and future BB10 users. Deeply integrate with core BlackBerry functionality.
· Port existing Android apps and games to PlayBook and BB10 and expand your market. Simply re-package and distribute through App World.
· If you have an existing game or app written in AIR that you are looking to bring to the PlayBook and future BB10 platform this is the choice for you.

Want to say a quick thank you the David Harfield from iPhoneappcafe.com for his amazing review. I’m still blown away by winning London BeMyApp weekend.
“To win a country-wide app development contest is a dream come true for every developer, so to win a worldwide competition would surely be almost too much to handle; well, if Matt Glover gets enough votes then this may be a very fun problem for him to solve”
I’d like to wish all projects the best of luck … there’s some really great ideas out there.

Star Jar is a multi-device mobile app to record and reward child behaviour and
success. Fun and engaging usage for years of Star collecting, and a very novel way of syncing between iPhones, iPods and iPads.
Star Jar was Developed by a 1-Man Team, Matt Glover (Duchy Software) at the London BeMyApp Hackathon
