One of the key planks in developing software for smartphones is your developer environment. After a number of options, most of the Symbian developers (including Symbian themselves) are now using Carbide C++. It’s a vital plank, given that, as well as using it for writing most of the third party applications, it’s also used to code Symbian OS and elements of the S60 and UIQ interfaces. I caught up with Markus Ahonen to talk about the latest developments in the tool.

I can’t emphazise enough, if you have 10 minutes to kill listen to this. It’s all about the tools developers use to make the applications that you and I love. I took a few intro to C++ and .Net back when I was a computer science major, I might want to check these tools out.
It’s a shame tools cost money, VB Express is the best thing Microsoft every did since it basically lets anyone jump right into development without having to worry about price. It’s free! Free trials only go so far.
