Microsoft’s 4Afrika Initiative is delivering a week of
immersion training sessions for over 40 developers from innovation hubs in
Lagos including CcHUB and iDEA, as well as a number of universities across
Nigeria.
According to sources at the Corporate Affairs, Microsoft
West African office in Lagos, the weeklong session will provide deep dive
technical training on Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Windows Azure platform,
reports DigitalSENSE Business
News.
These trainings, our source said, would be delivered by
experienced technical specialists to ensure that the trainees can leave the
session with world-class skills.
“Microsoft partners including Nokia and Qualcomm will also
deliver sessions on various aspects of the development process, to enrich the
learners’ experience and expose them to a broad set of technology solutions.
The programme’s goal, DigitalSENSE Business News,
gathered is to equip this elite group of developers with the world-class
technical skills needed to build highly relevant, immersive applications and
cloud-based solutions.
Further, it was learnt that the 4Afrika Initiative places a
sharp focus on skills for entrepreneurship and employability, hence, the
training would also help equip this group of developers to share their
learnings with others, potentially through internships or similar opportunities
in the Microsoft partner ecosystem.
DigitalSENSE
Business News, recalls that the 4Afrika Initiative was built on the dual
beliefs that technology can accelerate growth for Africa, and that Africa can
also accelerate technology for the world.
While this immersion programme was designed to empower developers who have great ideas for a business or an application, by giving them the skills to turn that idea into a reality which in turn could help their community, countries or even the continent at large.
