Carbide Help Online Launched

Many moons ago I mentioned in Online Carbide Documentation Push that I wanted to publish our Carbide docs to the web for all to see and use. The main reason for this push was to make all Carbide info available via Google searches. The second reason I’m happy to have the material online is so that anyone can now link to the info using standard URLs. No more long title paths like Carbide.c++ User Guide > Creating programs > Using the editor > inserting spaces in a source file references in these posts.

Well, that day is finally here, now you can simply browse the Carbide Online Help Center for all of your Carbide documentation goodies.

It’s taken us awhile to make it happen and some higher priority features were completed first, but the info is now live and ready for use. Based on the Eclipse Infocenter it’s all the product docs shipping with the Carbide.c++ v2.0 release. We’ve integrated it with our build process so that when the next release of Carbide is ready, any new or updated docs will appear as well, ensuring you always have the latest info.

What’s not there?

Well, for now none of the S60 SDK or Symbian OS docs are available. Primarily that’s because the S60 docs are released by a separate team at this time and more work remains to get the okay for them to appear here. But we’re working on it. As for the Symbian OS docs, Symbian already has those available online via the Symbian Developer Library so there is little reason for us to duplicate their work.

So, browse around, Google it up a bit, and enjoy. If you have any comments or suggestions I’d love to hear them.
