On the 1st of March at 16:00 UTC, I will be giving a session at Ubuntu Developer Week on how to write a Compiz Plugin and get started with Compiz development in general. I am just finishing my draft of the lesson I will be giving, but we will be covering topics such as:
- Setting up the development environment to write, build and test Compiz plugins
- Basic plugin set-up and tear down – getting your plugin to build and load
- Handling events
- Drawing to the screen and Drawing to windows
- Reading and using options
If you’ve ever wanted to get started with Compiz plugin development, then now is a really great chance to get a head start to learn how things work. I can’t wait to see you all down there! (And see what you can come up with!)

Hey Sam, Will the session be telecasted online? I am in India so can’t really be there physically, but I really want to attend it.. Any idea how can I do so?
It is all online. Just join #ubuntu-classroom on FreeNode IRC or use Learnid

“Learnid” ? what is this ?
Learnid is a small application to participate more effectively in the Ubuntu * Week’s http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/11/25/introducing-lernid/
