The Qt development framework enables C++ developers to deliver rich, cross-platform apps more easily than ever before, while UI designers will love the power of Qt Quick. All these tools and more are available in the Qt SDK 1.1. This intuitive environment enables you to work on your favourite desktop platform. There is no need to install complex platform SDKs, because Qt SDK includes the Qt Simulator — for testing apps quickly — and compilers to build apps for Symbian and Maemo devices. With features such as on-device debugging, you can get everything done in one place, quickly and efficiently. |
Nokia Web Tools: Build apps for the next billion

Nokia Web Tools provide developers with a design and development toolkit, which makes it easy to take a Series 40 web app or Symbian WRT widget from planning to Ovi Store submission. With Web Developer Environment you can edit, package, and deploy web apps easily, while referring to the one-stop shop for web apps information and additional tools: Web Developer Channel.
