Porting to the Symbian Platform: Open Mobile Development in C/C++ (Paperback)

If you want to write mobile applications without the idioms of Symbian C++, have existing software assets that you'd like to re-use on Symbian devices, or are an open source developer still waiting for an open Linux-based device to gain significant market penetration, this is the book for you!

Beginning with an introduction to the native programming environments available and descriptions of the various technologies and APIs available, you will first learn how to go about porting your code to the Symbian platform.

Next, you will discover how to port to Symbian from other common platforms including Linux and Windows.

Finally, you can examine sample porting projects as well as advanced information on topics such as platform security.

The author team consists of no less than six Forum Nokia Champions, together with technical experts from the Symbian community, either working on Symbian platform packages or third party application development. With this book, you will benefit from their combined knowledge and experience.

In this book, you will learn:

• How to port and make use of existing open source code to speed up your development projects
• How to port applications from other popular mobile platforms to the Symbian platform
• How to write code that is portable across multiple platforms
• The APIs in the Symbian platform for cross-platform development, such as support for standard C/C++ and Qt.

如果您想要在不使用Symbian C++的慣用語的情況下撰寫行動應用程式，或者您有現有的軟體資產希望在Symbian設備上重複使用，或者您是一位仍在等待開放的基於Linux的設備在市場上獲得重要市佔率的開源開發者，那麼這本書就是為您而寫的！

首先，本書將介紹可用的本機程式設計環境以及各種可用的技術和API的描述，您將首先學習如何將您的程式碼移植到Symbian平台。

接下來，您將了解如何從其他常見平台（包括Linux和Windows）移植到Symbian。

最後，您可以查看示範移植專案以及有關平台安全性等高級資訊。

本書的作者團隊由至少六位Forum Nokia Champions組成，以及來自Symbian社群的技術專家，他們要麼在Symbian平台套件上工作，要麼在第三方應用程式開發上工作。通過本書，您將受益於他們的綜合知識和經驗。

在本書中，您將學到：

- 如何移植和利用現有的開源程式碼來加快開發專案的速度
- 如何將應用程式從其他流行的行動平台移植到Symbian平台
- 如何撰寫可在多個平台上移植的程式碼
- Symbian平台中用於跨平台開發的API，例如對標準C/C++和Qt的支援。
