Professional Symbian Programming

This manuscript is an abridged version of a chapter from the Wrox Press book Professional Symbian Programming.

Professional Symbian Programming gives developers the low-down about the EPOC operating system: how it works, what it can do, and how to make it perform. The book explains the demands of programming within the constraints typically imposed by mobile platforms (relatively low memory, limited display size, unconventional input devices), and how EPOC is designed to help overcome them. It contains examples written in C++ and Java that demonstrate EPOC as platform for both standalone applications and connectivity to other similarly equipped devices and the Internet. The book includes a CD containing PC emulators for Symbian-enabled devices, compilers and documentation. Coupled with any edition of Microsoft Visual C++ 5/6, this book provides everything required to start developing for the EPOC platform.
