Smartphone Operating System Concepts with Symbian OS uses Symbian OS as
a vehicle to discuss operating system concepts as they are applied to
mobile operating systems.It is this focus that makes this tutorial guide
both invaluable and extremely relevant for today’s student.In addition
to presenting and discussing operating system concepts, this book also
includes exercises that compare and contrast Symbian OS, Unix/Linux and
Microsoft Windows. These assignments can be worked on in a classroom
laboratory or in a student’s own time. The book is replete with examples
(both conceptual and applied to handhelds) as well as:
* Summaries at the end of each chapter.
* Problems the students can do as homework.
* Experiment-oriented exercises and questions for students to
complete on a handheld device
* A reading list, bibliography and a list of sources for handheld
software It also contains a series of on-line laboratories based on the
software developed for Symbian OS devices. Students can perform these
labs anywhere, and can use printing and e-mail facilities to construct
lab write-ups and hand in assignments. Students, for the first time,
will be taught Symbian OS concepts so that they can start developing
smartphone applications and become part of the mass-market revolution.
