From Symbian Developer Community

Category owner: Paul Beusterien

This page contains links to articles providing help and information on tools for Symbian development. We mostly host information about tools supplied by Symbian, but do also provide links to third-party tools and utilities which are not part of the official Symbian offering.

Symbian delivers most tools for application development, product development and platform contribution in free toolkits. In total, there are more than 100 tools downloadable through the Tools & Kits and Downloads pages, and they are designed to support current and future platform technologies.

Note to authors: Use this category if you're writing an article about a Symbian tool - particularly if it's intended to be read by a tool user.
