The Symbian OS Architecture Reference: Design and development of an operating system for mobile phones
Product DescriptionThe current Symbian Press list focuses largely on the Symbian operating system features small in the context of programming language. The Reference Architecture is different. There is a how-to book is a book “, what and why.” And because it names names as they are design decisions that have shaped handles the operating system, is also a book “that”. It will be shown on the OS came from, how it develops into what is, and a simple model to understand what it is, as I. .. more>>
There should be a book for Symbian fans expected. but also the table of contents is available online. less as a sample chapter. Rating: 1 / 5
I can not believe that someone is a book 1-star just because (s) not found, the contents of a book. It is not fair, a decent book. I read this book on the implementation of a research paper on the comparison of mobile computing platforms. The chapters, which is the architecture of Symbian OS and Symbian C + + development framework provides a clear and complete. Ie taking into account the many components of the Symbian platform, I would, is the rate of lesenswert.Ich book as a 5-star at first meet with a comment. Ernst is a 4-star Buch.Btw: Amazon is not usually the contents of a book online. You can search the table of contents on the website of the publisher. Rating: 5 / 5
This book is worth the investment? The answer depends entirely on your purpose of reading is not a serious book on programming, detailed architectural book in a straight technical sense. By contrast, a book is very poorly organized and full of interviews, reflections, Geschichten.Nicht Symbian’s other books to read, the motivation for the use of C + + prejudice, the background behind Symbian unique features such as objects assets, two stage construction, etc. I am happy with Ecom and descriptions on the completion of the work to mention is that interviews with key – Symbian figures as Colly Myers, David Wood, etc. have also proven to be very enlightening and worth the worth reading a second to give you an idea here is an exception to Chapter 3 :/**** Charles Davies: When I interviewed people who use an example of a terminal emulation program. Here is a program that is doubtless the events not only by the user. The normal naive way to write an interactive application at that time would have to wait for a key combination to see which button was responding to, and that was a function key, it was a different button? You could have a terrible case statement in response to a keystroke. Therefore, I ask, “How to write an application if you do not know if your next post comes from the serial port or the touch of a button, and a good response if they stopped, and if they do, they did. *****/ not the only reason I gave it 5 stars because it is the shortcomings of the Symbian and treatment decisions in the entire area of the sand OS affect how compensation and performance between microkernel monolithic. BTW, this book was written in late 2006, and the latest version of SOS was 9. 3, the current version I am using Symbian OS v9 6. Rating: 4 / 5
