* This book trades comprehensive coverage for an approach which gives developers insight on how to code for the Symbian OS. * It is divided into self-contained chapters, each discussing specific and important features of Symbian OS. * Jo Stichbury covers key areas of the core operating system in detail, to give the reader a deep understanding. * The updated version of Symbian OS Explained focuses on the latest development, Symbian OS v9. * In effect, the book is a "porting guide" for developers making the leap from earlier versions of the platform to Symbian OS v9, and also as a reference for those developers who have come to Symbian OS later and work exclusively with the v9 platform.
