Do’s and Dont’s of Symbian Development

After reading some (in theory :) useful comments on Symbian development here, I thought adding my own two cents could make sense. Here we go:

DO Use Python S60 to write applications.
DON’T Use the Symbian C++ SDK for anything.

Oh how much anger do I feel when looking back to my Symbian C++ programming days.. :) The most horrible SDK I’ve ever had to work with.. Of course, in the last four or five years the SDK has improved quite a lot. Especially the Eclipse-based Carbide IDE seems to provide a rather good development experience.

Anyway, I’m happy that I was able to move on to Python S60 and J2ME development.
