To create a project with a wizard

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