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.
Michael J. Jipping is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Hope College in Michigan. He is a long-time member of the Symbian Developer Network, and has been developing software for Symbian OS for over seven years. He is actively involved in research on handheld networking and has co-authored several textbooks on programming languages.
