I just found out that the S60 team are running a competition that I think is an indication of things to come. With multiple runtimes on their platform, and to attract all of those developers, its completely appropriate to engage developers for their requirements and ideas.
Time for an Open C, Symbian C++, python and JNI XMLSocket API. Good luck!
S60 supports multiple different runtimes and programming languages. The aim of this month’s competition is to come up with a way to combine different runtimes.
We are asking you to design and implement a framework that unifies S60 runtimes. The goal is intercommunication of runtimes (for example Symbian C++, Java, Flash, Python, Web Runtimes, you name it). With this kind of runtime interaction it is possible to access new features and re-use existing solutions in a manner that is unheard of. Provide us with your framework implementation and also at least one working example of runtimes interworking. If you don’t have time to implement all the necessary parts - let us know your ideas and planned design to score more points in the contest.
The January’s competition is open until 15th of February (15.2.2008) and we hope to have the best solutions published by the end of February.
