Book Summary of Advanced Symbian Os C Programming For Mobile Phones (With CD) This book is a second and companion text to Harrison's original volume, Symbian OS C for Mobile Phones (SCMP), published in 2003. It will only briefly cover - in an early, introductory chapter - Symbian OS fundamentals, such as error handling, object creation and destruction, descriptors and active objects.
Thereafter it will describe those new features particular to V7.0 (s) and it will provide conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the OS to give developers a thorough understanding of Symbian OS.
Its central approach will be to describe the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the lifecycle - for example, on application startup - it will describe what actions take place in the OS, what the system does for the application and what the system expects the application to do. With plenty of code examples, the book will detail advanced features such as user interfaces, files and views, multimedia services and communications and messaging.
In contrast to other available and forthcoming titles, its central approach describes the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the lifecycle - for example, on application startup - it will describe what actions take place in the OS, what the system does for the application and what the system expects the application to do. The book covers aspects of Symbian OS not available in v7.0 (SCMP), which are introduced by Symbian OS v7.0s.
Key Features • Covers OS v7.0s which is an updated release of the OS from previous Harrison book • Lots of code and examples which can be made to plug into a general purpose framework • As UI agnostic as possible without compromising on examples to suit broad range of phones • CD-ROM with SDK and IDE will add further value to the book • Approach geared to application developers so follows the development lifecycle • Advanced and detailed features explored in theory and reference sections of the book • Self-contained but would complement Harrison's first book very well. • Another authoritative ‘from the source’ publication from Symbian Press • All code examples will be available on an accompanying website
