Here are the slides I prepared for the Silicon Valley Symbian Programming SIG about different runtimes on S60 (warning: 1.4 MB file). With runtimes I mean here Java ME, Flash Lite and Python, even tough there are many more runtimes available on S60 (browser, Perl, Ruby, LUA, you name it).

The structure of the presentation basically is

• Overview of S60
• Overview of Java ME, Flash Lite, Python
• Comparing Java ME, Flash Lite, Python from different angles
• Some background material on Java ME security and Symbian platform security

I got material for the presentation from different sources including Mr. PyS60 himself, Bill Perry from Adobe (you will notice which slides are from his presentation, as their graphical quality stands out...), and of course my colleagues from Forum Nokia. Big thanks to everyone (and all the other people I forgot to thank above)!

I tried to be as diligent as possible in filling in all the tables, but it is possible that there are still some kinks which needs to be corrected. Please chime in if you find a mistake in here.  And note, all the mistakes are mine.

The event itself was a cozy meeting with a handful of mobile developers. The talk ran over the time limit very very much, thanks to me having way too many slides and the attendees asking a lot of really good questions. Special thanks for John Kern for organizing this event and Mozilla Foundation for hosting it!
