Quick Recipes on Symbian OS
Quick Recipes on Symbian OS is a book that I co-authored with 5 other mobile experts. The lead author was Michael Aubert.
Synopsis
This book will teach you how to start developing C++ applications for
Symbian smartphones from scratch. It presents a series of recipes to
get you cooking within two weeks.
The recipes are divided by technology, and include those for graphics,
multimedia, location-based services, networking and messaging. Each
chapter is self-contained so you can pick and mix those ingredients you
are interested in. Each recipe explains the length of time needed to
implement it, and its difficulty level. The task is then explained in
detail, and provides snippets of example code. The full sample code is
provided for future reference and for use as a starting point in your
own projects.
The book also includes a 'Getting Started'
chapter and another chapter that describes the essential idioms of
Symbian C++. The book closes with an explanation of best practices,
tips and tricks, and how to prepare your application for release -
taking you from novice cook to cordon bleu chef in under 300 pages!
