Tizen was meant to be the software bearer for Samsung. But right now it's nowhere close to Android, iOS, Windows and even BlackBerry 10 in terms of performance and popularity. Just to give that a kick start Samsung has worked out its strategy from ground level.
Literally speaking, the Korean major has formed an alliance with Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises or MSME to set up digital academies that will be entrusted with nurturing youth of the country to take forward their Tizen ambition.
In many ways, what Samsung is trying to do is, relying on untapped youth population of the country to set up shop for Tizen and help them in understanding the operating system at a technical and developer level. "Digital Academy course in collaboration with the Ministry, will seek to train youth to develop apps that run on the Tizen OS across a multitude of devices such as smartphones, televisions and tablets", as emphasised by the company.
Adding further to the whole establishment, Samsung has charted out the roadmap that the course will employ and what will be part of the student's curriculum. Samsung Digital Academy course will cover topics such as an introduction to the Tizen platform, the Tizen app development process, testing and debugging, device Application Program Interface (APIs) as well as packaging and installation of designed apps on various devices" the company statement highlights.
And if that isn't enough then students will also get the chance to test out various apps being designed for the platform on their very own Tizen Z1 phones. "Students will also be trained on how to migrate existing apps on to the Tizen platform. The curriculum will be developed by Samsung Research Institutes in Delhi and Bengaluru. "Samsung will also provide the Tizen Software Development Kit (SDK) as well as Samsung Z1 phones for testing purpose", as confirmed by the brand.
The enrolling students aren't required to be proficient in developer languages as per the company and all one needs to be is 12th pass out or a polytechnic student. They've decided to start off this project with 10 centres positioned in cities like Delhi, Ludhiana, Hyderabad and Varanasi among others and going forward they aim to touch 68 centres in the coming years.
