The Accredited Symbian Developer Primer: Fundamentals of Symbian OS
The Primer will explain the content tested in the Accredited Symbian Developer exam. It will break down the subject areas examined in the online test and succinctly describe each concept as a series of exam objectives. For a more in-depth description of those areas, it will provide references to other sources of information.
The
book is intended to ‘prime’ the candidates for the examination by explaining what they need to know. It is not intended to be a textbook for understanding Symbian OS in any depth. It will use a number of deprecated exam questions to illustrate the typical style and level of questions asked in the examination.
The book is not typical of the current Symbian press range in that it will not walk through significantly sized code project examples nor provide a detailed, in-depth analysis of the fundamentals of C++ development on Symbian OS.
