C++ Developer's Library
The C++ Developer's Library is an integrated package of information for developers wishing to use the S60 platform to develop mobile C++ applications and services. The library includes a C++ API Reference Guide. It also provides links to the Symbian OS online library, and to documentation and example applications available on Forum Nokia. The main library focuses on the S60 releases that have a wide representation on the market, while the extension library introduces the features of the newest S60 releases, for future devices. The libraries are available as a stand-alone version, as an Eclipse plug-in and in HTML format online. The stand-alone and Eclipse plugin formats support searching through the Eclipse platform.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth API Developer's Guide
This document provides information on how to develop Bluetooth applications in C++. In Symbian OS, the Bluetooth API consists of various components, and there are also some additional S60 APIs. The document describes how to perform typical Bluetooth tasks such as discoverability and service advertising, device and service discovery, and communication using different protocols. Security and platform security, configurations, and changes in the Bluetooth API v2 architecture (introduced in S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2) are also described. The document provides several code snippets from separately published code examples.

S60 3rd Edition: Creating Custom Message Type Modules (with Example)
Download this C++ document and code example to learn how to create Message Type Modules (MTMs) for S60 3rd Edition and later releases. The target audience is e-mail developers implementing their own e-mail protocol (for example, Push e-mail service), where preinstalled S60 platform e-mail MTMs (POP3, IMAP4) cannot be used. The package demonstrates how to develop and install an MTM, how to create an account (mailbox), how to create a simple viewer/editor implemented as a server application, how to provide support to send from other applications, and how to receive notifications of new messages. Message sending and receiving are echoed locally. Note that Symbian platform security imposes heavy capability requirements for MTMs (up to ALL -TCB capabilities) and thus the application has to be signed using the Manufacturer Approved Developer Certificate.
