programmer to programmer: Mobile Solutions on the EPOC Platform - Tapa blanda

Symbian's EPOC is a robust, 32-bit operating system designed specifically for the demands of mobile computing. Already implemented on hardware from industry leaders Psion and Ericsson, EPOC will be the OS of choice for the next generation of smartphones, wireless information devices and handheld computers.
This text, along with the accompanying CD containing SDKs and a PC-based emulator, provides a complete guide to the EPOC operating system and the means to write and test applications for it. To be used with any edition of Microsoft Visual C+ + 5/6, Professional Symbian Programming explains how EPOC works, what it can do, and how to program applications for it.
Written by Symbian's own experts, this book is the definitive companion to the SDK documentation.
