I woke this morning to get an SMS from our marketing manager (and future Carbide.c++ product manager) Mike Trujillo saying that Carbide.c++ Professional Edition had won the Jolt Award 2007 for Best Mobile Development Tool. Yiihaa!
So what's a Jolt award anyway? it's an award handed out by Dr. Dobb's magazine every year, and the website says it's the Oscars of software tools :-)
Needless to say, we're feeling pretty good over here. The team is currently fixing bugs like mad in order to get the final release candidate built next week, and I'd venture to say this will make the final crunch all the more enjoyable.
Please join me in congratulating the engineering team for their achievement!
For those using Carbide.c++ 1.1, you'll be glad to know that our beta program is progressing well and we're planning to release Beta Release 3 over the course of the weekend. Feedback is positive and we're expecting to fix a lot of user-reported issues in the last few cycles. Once the product nears its GM date we'll start providing more info via the blog.
We're also thinking about releasing the final Beta release publicly, via Forum Nokia. If you're developing with OpenC or PIPS, this could make your life easier as target type support is built-in with 1.2.
Oh yeah. On a related note: if you're interested in posix-C development on Symbian, Erik Jacobson (Symbian's product manager for Open Environment & PIPS) seems to be pretty active on the Symbian blog. Which, as anything cool on the web these days, seems to still be in beta.
Artem Marchenko, a Forum Nokia Champion and community active, posted a good question regarding what features an an IDE requires in order to better support Agile development methods.
And to that, how does your current development methods match agile development practises?
My former colleague in tools product management, Håkan Mitts, is trying to uncover what platform security capabilities are improperly classified or organized. With your help, he can get the S60 platform security capabilities assigned to the right kind of APIs.
We hear from developers that some APIs might require "too high" capability compared to the functionality of the API. If you think that this is the case for some specific S60 API, pls respond to this thread providing the following information.
...so please help Citizen Mitts by giving him your €0.02.
Whereas this blog focuses on a lot of the end-result product and the gathering of requirements to get there, Ken Ryall from our team blogs about the work we do around Eclipse and CDT to get it to work for Symbian. As one of our most senior developers and and as a CDT committer, he'll be sure to have insights about how to successfully create Eclipse/CDT-based software. If you're writing plug-ins for Carbide.c++, or Eclipse in general, Ken's blog will be a good starting point.

I've also added the site to the blogroll on the right. Take a look and please extend him a warm welcome to the blogosphere!
