Creating a Project with a Wizard

This section describes how you can create a new Symbian C++ GUI application, HelloWorld, with the Carbide.c++ wizard. A GUI application is the most common type of Symbian C++ project that can be installed on a mobile device. Once you have gained a clear understanding of the development environment, you can move on to other types of projects, such as a console application or a dynamically linked library (DLL).
