Professional Symbian Programming gives developers the low-down on 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 also contains examples written in C++ and Java that demonstrate how EPOC is a platform for both stand-alone applications and applications connected to similarly equipped devices and the Internet.
This program is a sample chapter from the book. The complete 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 in order to start developing for the EPOC platform.
