Many problems encountered by engineers developing code for specialized Symbian subsystems boil down to a lack of understanding of the core Symbian programming concepts. Developing Software for Symbian OS remedies this problem as it provides a comprehensive coverage of all the key concepts. Numerous examples and descriptions are also included, which focus on the concepts the author has seen developers struggle with the most. The book covers 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. The new edition includes a completely new chapter on platform security. The overall goal of the book is to provide introductory coverage of Symbian OS v9 and help developers with little or no knowledge of Symbian OS to develop as quickly as possible. There are few people with long Symbian development experience compared to demand, due to the rapid growth of Symbian in recent years, and developing software for new generation wireless devices requires knowledge and experience of OS concepts. This book will use many comparisons between Symbian OS and other OSes to help in that transition. Get yourself ahead with the perfect introduction to developing software for Symbian OS.

Symbian OS continues to be the top operating system for smartphones across the world, with the number of Symbian OS phones sold now well beyond the 100 million mark. As more and more developers realize the huge opportunities available designing with Symbian OS, one of the first major obstacles they face is the sheer length of time it takes to start producing functional C++ applications for Symbian OS phones. "Quick Recipes on Symbian OS" provides easy-to-use recipes for mastering common development tasks. The book's structured, time-focused approach to becoming familiar with the basics allows readers to get up and running quickly. From the Author This book is meant as an entry point into the Symbian OS C++ development ecosystem. Our goal is to allow you to create a working prototype of your application for Symbian OS withing 2 weeks, using only this book, a computer, an internet connection and a Symbian phone. Inside, you will find reusable modules implementing the most common tasks developers usually have to labour on, along with enough information for you to understand them and integrate them into your own application. This book can be used in several ways: - as a learning exercise. - to complement a university course. - as a reference to keep on your desk.

The book gives an under-the-hood view of Symbian's new real-time kernel. The release of the book is timely because it is then that the first devices containing the new kernel are expected to be released onto the market. The book concentrates throughout on the kernel, pointing out key differences from the old kernel where they affect the target audience.The book's approach is technical, with clear explanations and diagrams. Basic computer science terms are not explained, unless their usage is unusual in Symbian OS. When higher level Symbian OS concepts are mentioned, the book refers the reader to Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones Volume 1 by Richard Harrison.· Introducing EKA2· Hardware for Symbian OS· Threads, Processes and Libraries· Inter-thread Communication· Kernel Services· Interrupts and Exceptions· Memory Models· Platform Security· The File Server· The Loader· The Window Server· Device Drivers and Extensions· Peripheral Support· Kernel-Side Debug· Power Management· Boot Processes· Real Time· Ensuring Performance

While media buzz regularly circulates around iPhone and Android, Nokia still leads the pack in terms of world market share. Symbian, for instance, remains the most widely used mobile operating system. With Nokia's open development platform, the opportunities available for mobile developers to target this vastly popular operating system are abundant and clear. Use Qt to target both platforms: Symbian, the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, as well as MeeGo, the Intel/Nokia platform for mobile devices. Develop HTML5 applications for both Symbian and MeeGo platforms that will run with little modification on other mobile platforms. Novice developers learn the basics of Qt with a mobile slant, giving them the ability to target both desktop and mobile platforms.

A guide to programming Symbian OS smartphones using OPL (The Open Programming Language): a simple to learn, open-source scripting language, ideal for fast-track development of enterprise applications. This book provides a hands-on development environment for both the experienced and aspiring programmer, demonstrating the ease of use of Symbian OS technologies through the utilization of OPL. OPL has a shallow learning curve which allows bespoke corporate tools to be developed in house by technical staff who aren’t necessarily trained programmers. Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS provides a clear guide on both how to program, and understanding the structure of the language through a keyword dictionary. Any bespoke OPL application can grow with a company, eventually providing access to more advanced C++ code through OPX extensions. From the home programmer who wants to do more with their phone, to the enterprise developer, Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS is the ideal starting point for simple, innovative application design using OPL.
