<section id="GUID-A42A3956-597C-45B5-8A58-CEDE2BDD800C"><title>Purpose</title> <p>Standard C++ support on the Symbian platform
helps to port existing Standard C++ applications onto the Symbian platform
quickly and easily. 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 the Symbian platform. </p> </section>
<section id="GUID-C6BD4B3F-6147-4621-B0D2-EEEAA17720C1"><title>Required background</title> <p>To use the Standard C++ environment
supported on the Symbian platform you need a good understanding of C++ and
STL. For complete information about STL, see <xref href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Template_Library" scope="external">Wikipedia</xref>. </p> <p> <b>Important:</b> Symbian is not
