Tools and SDKs for Mobile Software Development

Nokia's mobile devices give millions of users around the world the power of a computer in the palms of their hands — power that keeps them connected, entertained, organised, and informed.

For developers, the vast installed base of Nokia devices represents the largest opportunity for profitability in the mobile industry. To help you to take advantage of this opportunity, Forum Nokia provides a range of tools and SDKs designed to make mobile development and testing as simple and straightforward as possible.

To help you quickly and easily find the tools and SDKs that suit your needs, we've organised them into the following categories:

• Integrated development environments (IDEs) — Start here if you're looking for a development environment that makes mobile programming friendlier.
• Runtimes — Start here if you want to develop applications or content using Java™ technology, Web Runtime, Flash Lite from Adobe, Qt for S60, Symbian C++, Open C/C++, or Python.
• Platforms — Start here if you're looking for SDKs to create applications and content for the S60 platform, the Series 40 platform, or the maemo™ platform.
• Plug-ins — Start here if you're an experienced mobile developer looking to display additional languages in platform SDKs or looking for the latest APIs and theme components.


• Extensions — software for extending application functionality to make use of, for example, a specific feature of a platform.
• Enablers — utilities to help you with development work in specialised areas, such as games and Near Field Communication (NFC) applications.
• Archive — Start here if you're looking for retired tools, such as those for the Nokia 7710 widescreen smartphone, Series 80 platform, early S60 platform, and early Series 40 platform.
