<p>Carbide.c++ provides a host of functionality when it comes to designing, writing, compiling, and debugging Symbian OS based applications for mobile devices. In addition there are tools for evaluating your applications performance, memory, and energy usage to make them run faster and use less resources. </p> |

<p>However, while there are a lot of tools included with Carbide.c++ you may have ideas of your own that you'd like to develop and use. Since Carbide is based upon Eclipse, a highly extensible open framework, you can develop tools and employ them inside the Carbide environment where they can operate alongside the standard tools. Best of all, you can do this all within the famliiar Carbide IDE. </p> |
