| Welcome to the updated edition of Symbian OS Communications Programming! In this book we’ll introduce you to much of the major communications functionality in Symbian OS and demonstrate how to perform common tasks in each area.
For this new edition we’ve started from scratch to produce chapters that are relevant to you as developers. Each chapter gives background information on the technology where necessary, an overview of the functionality provided in Symbian OS, and descriptions or examples of how to use the Symbian OS APIs. In cases where APIs or implementation differ between Symbian OS-based devices this is noted, and when the user interface platforms work differently then we’ll show you what those differences are, or at least point you in the direction of some documentation that does.
In this book we focus on using and extending Symbian OS functionality using the native C++ APIs. Whilst it is also possible to use Java to develop applications for Symbian OS devices, we do not cover that in this book. We also focus on APIs available in standard UIQ3 and S60 3rd edition SDKs – thus engineers at Symbian’s licensees and partners will want to look elsewhere for details on the internals of the Symbian OS subsystems that we describe. However, the material in this book is suited to all developers – at third parties, Symbian’s licensees and Symbian’s partners – who wish to use the functionality described.
This book should also prove useful to newcomers to Symbian OS in the device creation community, providing a high-level overview of the communications side of Symbian OS, and an idea of how it all fits together. However, this is not likely to be sufficient for creating a device, for that you will need to look elsewhere. |

 On Mercy
Is mercy more important than justice?
Since antiquity, mercy has been regarded as a virtue. The power of monarchs was legitimated by their acts of clemency, their mercy demonstrating their divine nature. Yet by the end of the eighteenth century, mercy had become “an injustice committed against society . . .... | | Data Structures: Abstraction and Design Using Java, 3rd edition
Our goal in writing this book was to combine a strong emphasis on problem solving and software design with the study of data structures. To this end, we discuss applications of each data structure to motivate its study. After providing the specification (interface) and the implementation (a Java class), we then cover case studies that use the... | | Diseases of the Neck, Shoulders, Back, and Limbs
This book is the fourth volume in a seven-volume series titled The Treatment of Disease in TCM authored by Philippe Sionneay and Lu Gang. In this volume, the authors discuss the TCM disease cuases and mechanisms, pattern discrimination, treatment principles, medicinal formulas and acupuncture treatments for a wide variety of pain complains of... |
Developing ASP Components
The popularity of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology is growing rapidly. Part of the reason is ASP's flexibility: the output of ASP scripts is most commonly HTML, which is included in the text stream returned to the client, making it a convenient way of creating browser-independent web content. But an additional... | | Orbital Interaction Theory of Organic Chemistry, 2nd EditionThe premise on which this text is based is that the vast majority of chemical phenomena may be qualitatively understood by the judicious use of simple orbital interaction diagrams. The material borrows heavily from the pioneering work of Fukui [1, 2], Woodward and Ho¨mann [3], Klopman [4], Salem [5], Ho¨mann [6], and many others whose work... | | One Who Is Not Busy, The: Connecting with Work in a Deeply Satisfying WayThe Problem of Busyness I agreed to write this book almost a year ago. Gibbs Smith and I had met during a five-day workshop on the topic of time and busyness at Tassajara Hot Springs, a Zen Buddhist retreat center in Big Sur. I co-facilitated the workshop, "The One Who Is Not Busy," with Basya Petnick and Rabbi Helen Cohn. Gibbs was quite... |
