I am seeing more and more people coming to me with requirements for Windows Mobile applications. I actually started programming for mobile under Windows CE (’Pegasus’) when it first came out in 1996. Since then, in Europe at least, fewer companies have been looking for Windows Mobile development and more have wanted Java ME and […]

One of the guys from navxs.com has emailed me about their new Cross Platform Development Framework for Mobile Applications…

The advantages are lower barriers to entry, reduced development time, decoupled application development and dynamic update.
David described […]

Nokia has now released their release candidate 1 for Carbide.c++ 1.3. This Beta-release is the first one that contains UI-designer with support for UIQ applications. It can be downloaded from http://groups.google.com/group/carbidecpp-beta after you […]

After my post about speeding up builds, Dan, the Carbide.c++ Engineering Manager, contacted me asking if I had tried the Carbide.c++ (1.3) beta. While I am enrolled on the beta, I hadn’t tried it because I have been busy and didn’t want the new IDE to disrupt my work.
It turns out that one of the key […]

I seem spend a disproportionate amount of time waiting for builds - especially when I tend to be only updating one source file at a time. In my case it’s currently Carbide.c++ / S60 SDK builds but what I am about to say is probably equally as applicable to JAVA ME or other build environments.
