Welcome. This post will guide you about C++ programming for the Series 60 v5 platform, based on the Symbian Operating System. I wrote these tutorial along with my colleague Sapan, when we were doing summer internship at IIIT- Hyderabad. We built a simple application named "Yellow Page Application" under guidance of Dr. Rohit Agarwal. The term Yellow Pages refers to a telephone directory of businesses, categorized according to the product or service provided. This application does the work of displaying this information to the user on the go using just his mobile phone. In this way, he can get the information about the business he is looking for in a particular city.This application lists major businesses (Banks, Clinics and Doctors etc.) in 4 major cities of India.
We have divided this tutorial in 5 parts which will guide you How to build a basic Symbian application from scratch. Before going further I suggest you to get familiarize yourself with the application first and read this.

Tutorial 2: This part will show you how to build a dialog box in Symbian Operating System.
Tutorial 3: This part creates forms and provides support for your application.
