Ubuntu App Developer: the new development platform presented by Canonical

Ubuntu App Developer will offer tutorials for app creation expressly intended for the operating system Linuxas well as his portability from other platforms. La task of creating applications for Ubuntu promises become simpler now that Canonical has been dispatched with this very interesting initiative.

On the new site, developers will be able to find guides, tutorials and other resources that will facilitate their work on the famous Linux operating system distribution, as well as the portability of other applications to the open source platform.

Developers will be able to offer their applications for free or by requesting payment per download. This will make Ubuntu App Developer a perfect complement to the Ubuntu Software Center. With these two new tools Canonical plans to do battle in the App Store war, so all the rage these days.

The million dollar question is whether these applications will be able to work on other Linux distributions with a few tweaks. And if Canonical proves that companies can easily sell applications based on their operating system, the number of commercial applications and games may grow rapidly.
