This book explains the key features of Symbian OS and will help you
to write effective C++ code. It focuses on aspects of good C++
style that apply particularly to Symbian OS.
21 items are used to target particular aspects of the operating
system and provide a simple and straightforward exploration of
coding fundamentals. Using example code and descriptions of best
practice to deconstruct Symbian OS, the items guide you to what you
should and should not do (and why), pointing out commonly-made
mistakes along the way.
Technologies covered include:
* client-server architecture
* descriptors and dynamic containers
* active objects, threads and processes
* leaves, cleanup stack and 2-phase construction
* thin templates, good API design, memory optimization, debug and
test macros
* the ECOM plug-in framework
Symbian OS Explained can be read cover-to-cover or dipped
into as a reference that will improve your code style when
programming with Symbian OS.

Über den Autor
Jo Stichbury was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge,
where she held the Stothert Bye-Fellowship. She has an MA in
Natural Sciences (Chemistry) and a Ph D in the chemistry of
organometallic Molybdenum complexes. After a brief spell in
postdoctoral research at Imperial College, she joined Psion
Software in 1997, when Symbian OS was still known fondly as EPOC32.
She has worked with the operating system ever since, within the
Vase, Connectivity and Security teams of Symbian, and also for
Advansys, Sony Ericsson and Nokia.
As the contents of this book will reveal, Jo has a somewhat
unhealthy interest in the Clangers and Greek mythology. She
currently lives in Vancouver with her partner and two cats.
