9 AM CEST / 4 PM CST Asia / 6 PM CEST / 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT
Duration: 1 hour
When getting started with the nRF Connect SDK, standalone (freestanding) applications provide a minimalistic and straightforward approach that’s perfect for experimentation and learning. However, once you’re familiar with the SDK and working on a more defined project with clear requirements, using a west workspace can significantly improve how you organize your code and manage dependencies.
In this hands-on, developer-focused webinar, you’ll learn everything you need to get started with west workspaces and discover how they can streamline your nRF Connect SDK project development and enhance scalability, reproducibility, and dependency management.
