<h2>Concepts</h2>
<p>This section of the User Guide provides an overview of the main concepts in
Carbide to create and build programs for Symbian. </p>
<p> The Symbian plug-ins are a set of Eclipse plug-ins that provide project,
SDK and build support for Symbian developers. The plug-ins extend the
functionality provided by Eclipse and the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT). </p>
<p> The plug-ins simplify Symbian development by removing the need to use
command line build tools, and provide a graphical interface to Symbian
specific file formats, such as MBM. </p>
<p> The plug-ins provide a new perspective, called the <a href="../projects/views/perspective_carbide.htm">Carbide.c++ Perspective</a>, on
the Eclipse workbench. This perspective enhances the standard CDT C/C++
perspective by allowing you to select easily the SDKs and build target types
that you want to use for each project. </p>
