All Web developers who have chosen Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 as their development platform can now plug in features that dramatically simplify the process of creating applications with WRT!!

The Nokia WRT Plug-in for Visual Studio provides features that enables the creation, editing, testing, and deployment of WRT widgets from within Visual Studio.
With WRT widgets websites or web services can be optimised for use on Symbian devices easily. Because they’re easy to develop and use, WRT widgets are ideal for driving traffic to your website from Symbian devices.
