Symbian programming - where to start?

Tell me what to read (articles, tutorials, books) and what tools (SDK, IDE, languages) are needed in order to start programming under Symbian. I have a Nikia 5230 mobile phone, symbian version 0.94, I want to get closer to it.

I looked at the Symbian SDK, there are 5 versions of it, it's not clear which one to download (

PS I know Python, C ++ and I'm a little familiar with Java.

> where to start?
Sell ​​5230, buy a budget android and then, start bringing your ideas to life with the help of the android SDK and even with the prospect of monetization.

Trufanov A. Programming under Symbian.
This book will give you a complete understanding of the platform.
At present, it is still recommended to start writing applications on qt.
From sdk you can download QtSdk

The era of Symbian is ending, why do you need it? But if you really want to quickly start writing something, look in the direction of www.phonegap.com/start#symbian

Throw away the phone, buy an android, download android sdk.

To get started, take a fresh Qt SDK and write a simple Windows application to get comfortable with the framework itself. See the examples that come with the kit.
Writing something under the Symbian API without Qt is very gimmicky (worse than on the bare Win32 API).

I, as not a developer at all, but the simplest user (well, maybe a little advanced), saw this symbian in a coffin and at the first opportunity I will buy myself a robotophone and my wife too.
Given that there will be no new devices on Symbian, and the old ones will slowly leave, this is a hopeless business today.

Again they began to yell that Symbian is shit. Maybe a person needs to write a laboratory
