The Symbian Os Architecture Sourcebook: Design And Solution Of A Mobile Phone Os

0.0

The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. It shows where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It also shows why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian’s key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the “inside story” around the architectural presentation.
