+guide</xref> provides introductory documents to the platform as a whole, and
+guides that describe the major areas of the platform in depth. </p><p>The
+Symbian platform is a large system, and contains hundreds of C++ classes and
+thousands of member functions. Like most complex systems, it is easiest to
+divide it into large areas, and gradually to narrow your focus down to the
+areas that are most important to your tasks. </p><p>The <xref href="http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Symbian_System_Model" scope="external">Symbian System Model</xref> organises the components of the
+Symbian platform into a layered software architecture. The guides in this
+library are also structured around this architecture. The guides describe
+the key technology and architectural concepts of the area, and show the key
+ways to use its classes.</p> <p>Note: Before the System Model was introduced,
+the Symbian platform used another architectural view based on large divisions
+called subsystems. Some documentation has not yet been changed to use the
+System Model rather than subsystems. </p> </section>

+gives instructions for building and using the large set of C++ example projects
+that accompany the library. Projects include examples that demonstrate the
+use of fundamental Symbian platform classes, and many examples showing how
