Learn from the Forum Nokia Knowledge Base

The Forum Nokia Knowledge Base is part of the Forum Nokia Wiki. The Knowledge Base is a library of known issues, technical solutions, and code snippets. The Knowledge Base contains articles about various technologies related to mobile development — including Symbian C++, Java™, Web, and Flash Lite from Adobe technologies — and about many aspects of developing mobile applications. The Knowledge Base includes articles written by Forum Nokia experts and articles contributed by developers. You’re welcome to add your own articles to the library and to comment on articles it contains.

• Known Issues articles describe the known differences between devices and platforms and their respective specifications. They explain situations where implementations may cause unexpected behaviours.
• Technical Solutions articles comprise developer questions that have been answered by the Forum Nokia Technical Support team. The cases have been generalized and published to serve other developers as well.
• Code Snippets articles contain well-written code blocks that demonstrate how to use APIs and methods to perform certain tasks, providing easy-to-use code for application development. The snippets use APIs of the public SDKs and have been tested on real devices.

Also check out Forum Nokia’s Device Specifications section, where you can find technical details about Nokia’s mobile devices. In addition to details about the features and APIs, the section includes links to related developer tools and other useful information.
