Description
The Carbide.c++ IDE is designed from the ground up for developers creating Symbian C++ software for Symbian devices. It provides features for project creation, building and packaging software, and undertaking emulator and on-device debugging — all the key tasks for creating Symbian C++ software. Through extension plug-ins features for querying API information, investigating project dependencies, performing static code analysis, and investigating project performance among other can be added as required.

Latest news
Carbide.c++ 3.2 is available. This latest release offers a lightweight installer with additional features added by the use of extension plug-ins. In addition, support for the new CODA on-device debug agent is provided. For details of the new features see the Carbide.c++ page.

Qt software development
Developers wishing to create apps that rely in part or whole on Qt APIs should use the Qt SDK 1.1, as software created with the Symbian^3 and earlier SDKs won't be accepted for publication in Ovi Store.

S60 3rd Edition development support
Carbide.c++ 3.2 doesn’t provide support for development with S60 3rd Edition SDK or devices. For such development work Carbide.c++ 2.7 remains available — see the download dropdown box in the right bar.
