Ubuntu’s three-week long App Showdown contest is almost halfway through, and some great applications are starting to emerge.

If you’re taking part then you’ll know that time is precious; you’ll want to add as much functionality to your app as possible before the deadline.

To help you along the Ubuntu Development Team have been hosting a series of online workshops designed to help you learn how to add additional features to your apps.

All of these workshops are recorded and hosted on YouTube – so if you couldn’t attend one live you can still benefit.
