The Ubuntu Beginners Development Team is a sub-team of the Ubuntu Beginners Team. The main goal of the Development Focus Group is twofold. The first is to create an environment where Beginners Team members can program in a relaxed setting with people they know very well. The second goal is to leverage the talent to create applications that enhance the new user's experience with Ubuntu. The Development team requires a very strict skill set, one of the more difficult focus groups to become a full member in.  * '''Team Page:''' [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Development]]<<BR>>

'''Objectives:'''

 {*} Assist people with problems that they are experiencing with Ubuntu in a real time environment.

 {*} Give advice on switching to Ubuntu from other operating systems.
