Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book explores thoroughly all aspects of Series 60 development. Suitable for both beginners (first chapters, 1-4) and advanced developers alike. The information is presented clearly and expanded along well written examples. A definite reference for professionals working in Symbian or Series 60 development. Easy indexed access to content makes it also an excellent programming guide.

Summary: Much needed reference material
Review: This book is not a "Symbian By Example" book but is a much needed reference for Symbian and specifically Series 60 topics that are hard to find else where such as Direct Screen Access, S60 App Engines eg. Camera API & Photo Album Engine. Such documentation is not a part of any of the other books available or the SDK documentation - so its great that this book provides that information. Other UI topics such as dialogs and menus etc and general discussions of Symbian OS constructs such as descriptors etc are also included, however these topics have been addressed in other Symbian OS books. All in all this is a must have for any one involved with S60 application development.

Summary: Excellent Guide for S60 Applications Development
Review: This is a very good guide for S60 devlopement. Some of the
Symbian programming paradigms are quite new for traditional
procedural language (Like C) programmers. This book provides
an excellent insight to the rationale of Symbian style. It
also provides a detail description of most of the important
classes and how they can be used. I'll recommend this book
for anyone trying to get into S60 applications development.
