Also, if you have a good understanding of Standard C++ and STL, you can easily develop a Standard C++ application or library using the Standard C++ environment supported on Symbian platform. </p> </section> <section><title>Required background</title> <p>To use the Standard C++ environment supported on Symbian platform you need a good understanding of C++ and STL.
