Don't expect miracles here, don't expect solutions to world's problems. It is more likely that I will ask [myself] questions looking for a always elusive answer.

How to enable support for old SDKs in Carbide.c++ v1.3
Let's start with a bit of a warning: the tool no longer supports the old SDKs and this decision is final. Applying the hack described here will at best restore the support for the old SDK to the 1.2 level but enhancements are not to be expected. You should not ask for support from the...
S60 SDK and tools on Windows Vista - a success story
The following is a copy of a Discussion Board post from a thread discussing - again - the level of support of the S60 tools and SDK for the Windows Vista, or more likely the lack there of. (More)
Are you ready for more ... drives?
It has become a reflex for Symbian developers to think of the available drives as being at best four:
Z: the ROM drive where the firmware resides (More)
S60 SDK API Plug-ins
The S60 SDK API Plug-ins have been updated today.
One change affecting all the plug-in versions regards the click-through Limited License Agreement (LLA), updated to reflect developer's concerns about the use of the provided APIs in 3rd party projects, both closed and open source. The...
Leo Laporte knows the truth about S60 ?
I've hear it so many times that I surprise myself for not believing it by now. Bashing S60 is by now the most popular sport, at least until the Olympic Games are started in Beijing. S60 is said to be difficult to learn (when compared to the Finnish language), difficult to understand (compared...
Platform Security and Symbian Signed
Here's another "mind map" that I hope will help developers understand what are the implications of Platform Security on the Symbian Signed process. To me it is self-explanatory but I would happily answer any questions you might have on the topic. (More)
What PlatSec capabilities does my application need?
Still looking for an answer to this question? The new release of Carbide.c++ comes with the " Capability Scanner " tool, a static code scanner that will identify the APIs used in your code, map them against a database of known APIs and their capability requirements and then provide...
S60 3rd Edition FP2 SDK released
No media hype, no cool videos and no amassing press releases. Not yet anyway :) But yes, the S60 3rd Edition SDK, supporting Feature Pack 2 (aka S60 3.2 SDK) is out and waiting for you to download it. (More)
Carbide.c++ 1.3 Updated
A small bit of news collected from the Carbide.c++ Beta group: the original Carbide.++ release had version number 1.3 build 23 but starting with 14.03.2008 the download package contains the new build 24. No details have been provided about what bugs have been fixed in this silent update but...
Platform Security - Lost and Found
Don't worry, this is not yet another long article about what Platform Security is and why is it the second best thing ever, after the sliced pizza of course. O wait, that's the iPhone. Ok, ... the third! (More)
Undocumented Symbian OS and S60 panics
You know it and I know it, the SDK documentation can be better . In many ways. But maybe the most critical issue is the way the returned errors, leave codes and panics are "documented" is really mind-bugling. One frequent statement is something like "If something goes wrong the...
No fun!?
Isn't it fun when people seem to have a lot of fun screaming that, well, ... it's no fun ? (More)
Author Profile
I've been poking my nose in mobile software development since 2000, starting on what was then the ER5 and Ericsson's R380. Since then I've been doing a bit of everything on the S60 Platform, from learning its bits and pieces to helping others find their way trough the maze.
