New Book: Symbian OS C++ volume 2, Programming with Extended Functionality and Advanced Features
</A>Symbian press is about to roll out the second volume of their excellent Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phone book. The book will be available at the Expo (beginning of October).
This book builds on the foundations of its predecessor, covering some of the pivotal features of Symbian OS in more detail, and describes key software features - such as user interfaces, files and views, multimedia services and communications, and messaging. Unlike its predecessor, the book covers both UIQ and Series 60 UIs which makes it the most universal book so far for the Symbian developer.
The book also includes a CD with the sample code from the book and the newly released TechView SDK.
You can pre-order the book from Amazon.
