View Details on Advanced Features of Symbian OS Such as User Interfaces, Files and Views, Multimedia Services and Communications, and Messaging

DUBLIN, Ireland-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66163) has announced the addition of “Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones: Programming with Extended Functionality and Advanced Features, Volume 2” to their offering.

Get up to speed on Symbian OS v7.0s with this new, from the source reference guide. After a brief introduction to Symbian OS fundamentals the book focuses on describing the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. It describes the new features particular to v7.0s and provides conceptual and theoretical underpinnings to give the reader a thorough understanding of the OS. It aims to build a general understanding of Symbian OS, not just for a particular smartphone or UI. This book is packed with codes and examples. It details advanced features such as user interfaces, files and views, multimedia services and communications, and messaging.

This book is a second and companion text to Harrisons original volume, Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones (SCMP), published in 2003. It will only briefly cover in an early, introductory chapter Symbian OS fundamentals, such as error handling, object creation and destruction, descriptors and active objects. Thereafter it will describe those new features particular to V7.0 (s) and it will provide conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the OS to give developers a thorough understanding of Symbian OS. Its central approach will be to describe the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the lifecycle for example, on application startup it will describe what actions take place in the OS, what the system does for the application and what the system expects the application to do.

In contrast to other available and forthcoming titles, its central approach describes the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the lifecycle for example, on application startup it will describe what actions take place in the OS, what the system does for the application and what the system expects the application to do. The book covers aspects of Symbian OS not available in v7.0 (SCMP), which are introduced by Symbian OS v7.0s.
