I am currently doing iphone development. I wish to do development in the Symbian platform too. Rather than Java i am familiar with CPP. Can you please help me by giving me some advice to get start in this development environment.? What all are the softwares i need to get installed in my system.? Expecting a positive reply.
Thanks and regards,
Shibin
Things you will need:
IDE. For Symbian C++ development there s the free, Eclipse-based Carbide.c++.
SDK. For example, the S60 Platform SDK enables you to write applications for S60-based devices.
There s a lot of getting started documentation on Forum Nokia.
The Qt framework is a free cross platform C++ based environment, with Symbian support just around the corner (looks like its available in beta). It supports desktop OSes (Windows/Mac) as well as device (Embedded Linux, Windows CE, etc.). However as of this writing it does not support iPhone, RIM or Android.
Shameless plug: http://www.mosync.com
Even though the biggest benefit of MoSync is in the targeting of multiple platforms, it is a very nice C/C++ development environment for Symbian only! For a regular C/C++ programmer, everything should feel considerably less alien than using Symbian C++.
Java/J2ME has much better tools and documentation, simpler libraries to use, and a bigger community. So unless you REALLY need to use C++ because of performance or specific API s you need, I suggest you use J2ME instead. I will probably be quicker to learn J2ME from scratch than to learn how to use the Symbian C++ libraries.
As stated by others, Qt might also be a viable option, but I haven t worked with it yet.
The power and simplicity of Qt is further expanding its presence in the mobile world. The latest version of Qt will provide core support for Symbian S60 development and a technology preview of support for Maemo 5.
