^{New devices need more skills} Nokia training spreads to Europe and US

Nokia will take its certified training in mobile software application development -- launched in Asia earlier this year -- to North America and Europe. By teaming up with select professional training companies and contributing its own tools, knowledge and other materials to the curriculum, Nokia seeks to provide advanced wireless applications now demanded by businesses and consumers. The training, currently offered in Singapore, Hong-Kong and Malaysia, will now be available from the following Nokia Certified Training Centres: Eidos (Madrid), Elea (Milan), Computer Management Training (Munich) and New Horizons Computer Learning Centres (Dallas). "As the capabilities and computing power of mobile devices continue to grow exponentially, the need for developers grows just as rapidly. We are expanding this training program to ensure that the demand for high-quality, useful and entertaining software that takes advantage of the latest capabilities of our phones is being met," said Lee Epting, vice president, Developer Operations, Nokia Mobile Software. Created by Nokia, the curricula for the courses cover key technologies such as the Series 60 Platform, Java 2 Micro Edition, xHTML, multimedia messaging service, and UI/Usability. For example, the "Series 60 C++ Development Introduction" module will teach aspiring mobile application developers how the Symbian OS and C++ can be used to develop advanced Series 60 applications.
