I would like to develop applications for Symbian OS Phones and try another track other than programming in Java. I would like to experience how to program on mobile phones using C and C++.
Can you please give some tips on what tools to use on developing this kinds of applications. I am targetting Nokia phones..
Now that the Carbide IDE is all free, the main differences between amateur versus professional Symbian OS development are:
- use of free development certificates to sign your application, as opposed to paying verisign and a test house to identify and verify your application.
- use of free GCCE compiler instead of the more optimised RVCT.
forum nokia is definitely a great resource.
I would also suggest http://developer.symbian.org and http://www.newlc.com
Shameless plug: the latest book to learn about Symbian OS native C++ development is at
http://www.quickrecipesonsymbianos.com
There are two options for you:
Symbian C++: follow the instruction from link http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Other_Technologies/Symbian_C++/
Qt C++/QML: detail instructions are found at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Qt/Getting_started/
Qt C++/QML is preferable for latest Symbian platform application development.
Qt c++ is the best choice. I saw many mobile application developers are developing applications with Qt C++. So I recommend to go with Qt C++.
