The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment is designed to operate as an extension of the existing
GEOS SDK. This extension is provided through the use of executable files developed by Geoworks. The
Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment makes use of GEOS SDK.
The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment is designed to permit technological evolution and service
extensions. The SDK is designed to allow for quick deployment of complete applications. This is achieved
by automating the complexities associated with packaging an application for delivery to the Nokia 9000
Communicator through a specialized packaging utility.
The SDK is designed to allow for quick compilation and debugging of applications. This is achieved by an
intuitive integration into the N9KS IDE of the GEOS compiler, emulator and debugger.
In summary, the SDK is an extensible development environment providing simplified extensions to the
GEOS SDK. The SDK provides compatible support to existing applications and moreover, is designed to
gracefully evolve through the adoption and provision of future enhancements to the GEOS language.
