Advanced Symbian Os C Prog For Mobile Phones With Cd

The ultimate developer's guide to Symbian OS C++ programming. Programming Symbian OS is a key skill for mass market phone application development. Whether you are developing applications and services for shipping mobile phones, or involved in pre-market mobile phone development, this book will help you understand the fundamental theory behind developing Symbian OS C++ code for constrained devices. A collaborative book, incorporating the expertise of over 30 Symbian engineers Comprehensive coverage of Symbian OS suitable for programming Nokia and Sony Ericsson systems and any Symbian OS v7.0 based smartphone Also provides supporting material for Symbian OS v6.0 and v6.0 phones Accompanying CD includes demo version of Metrowerks toolchain for the P800

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.· Symbian OS Fundamentals· Symbian OS User Interfaces· A Running Application· Using Controls and Dialogs· Views and the View Architecture· Files and the Filing System· Multimedia Services· Comms and Messaging · Testing on Symbian OS

Richard Harrison's existing books are the bestsellers in the Symbian Press Portfolio. His latest book, co-written with Mark Shackman is the successor to "Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones" Volumes One and Two. The existing material from the volumes is combined, with explanations and example code updated to reflect the introduction of Symbian OS v9.

Richard Harrison’s existing books are the bestsellers in the Symbian Press Portfolio. His latest book, co-written with Mark Shackman is the successor to "Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones" Volumes One and Two. Written in the same style as the two previous volumes, this is set to be another gem in the series. The existing material from the volumes will be combined, with explanations and example code updated to reflect the introduction of Symbian OS v9. New and simplified example application will be introduced, which will be used throughout the book. The reference and theory section in particular sets this book apart from the competition and complements other books being proposed at this time. Anyone looking for a thorough insight into Symbian OS C++ before moving onto specialize on particular Symbian OS phones need this book! It will not teach people how to program in C++, but it will reinforce the techniques behind developing applications in Symbian OS C++, and more. This innovative new book covers Symbian OS fundamentals, core concepts and UI. Key highlights include: A quick guide to Kernel Platform security Publishing Applications View Architecture Multi-User games

The overall goal of this book is to provide introductory coverageof Symbian OS and get developers who have little or no knowledge ofSymbian OS developing as quickly as possible. A clear and concise text on how Symbian OS architecture worksand the core programming techniques and concepts needed to be asolid, competent Symbian programmer Shows how Symbian OS architecture and programming compares withother mobile operating systems (to help transition and for betterunderstanding) Provides multiple examples and extra descriptions for areasmost difficult for new programmers who are unfamiliar to the uniqueOS architecture Contains many tips and techniques documented only, up untilnow, by scattered white papers and newsgroup threads Describes many details of inner operations of Symbian OS,focusing specifically on those needed to become a competentprogrammer The book will cover development ranging from low-level systemprogramming to end user GUI applications. It also covers thedevelopment and packaging tools, as well as providing some detailedreference and examples for key APIs.
