About Developing Software For Symbian OS: An Introduction
Product Description The overall goal of this book is to provide introductory coverage of Symbian OS and get developers who have little or no knowledge of Symbian OS developing as quickly as possible. A clear and concise text on how Symbian OS architecture works and the core programming techniques and concepts needed to be a solid, competent Symbian programmer Shows how Symbian OS architecture and programming compares with other mobile operating systems (to help transition and for better understanding) Provides multiple examples and extra descriptions for areas most difficult for new programmers who are unfamiliar to the unique OS architecture Contains many tips and techniques documented only, up until now, by scattered white papers and newsgroup threads Describes many details of inner operations of Symbian OS, focusing specifically on those needed to become a competent programmer The book will cover development ranging from low-level system programming to end user GUI applications. It also covers the development and packaging tools, as well as providing some detailed reference and examples for key APIs. From the Back Cover Symbian OS is the advanced, customizable operating system licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers. It is designed for the specific requirements of advanced 2.5G and 3G mobile phones. Essential guide to successful programming in Symbian OS. Symbian OS is already used in more than 32 million mobile phones worldwide yet there are few people with long-term programming experience in Symbian OS within the software development community. As demand grows and Symbian becomes more a globally prominent operating system, it is paramount that any programmer involved in creating software products for Symbian OS devices understands the technology. Whether you're new to the world of Symbian and want to get developing as quickly as possible, or a seasoned developer requiring a solid base of information for creating great Symbian software, this invaluable resource will give you what you need. Steve Babin's clear approach introduces many challenges and helps you through the problematic areas of the Object Oriented architecture, providing many examples with effective solutions. This must-have book covers all aspects of development ranging from low-level programming to end-user GUI applications. Key highlights include: Development and packaging tools Detailed reference and examples for key APLs Series 60, series 80 and UIQ Platforms Includes network programming using TCP/IP Real-world examples from an expert in the field.
