Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development for Symbian OS

Ewan Spence studied Computing and Artificial Intelligence at Edinburgh University before discovering his first Psion PDA. Since then he has actively followed the development of mobile computing technology, and become one of the leading of mobile computing technology, and become one of the leading authorities on the OPL language of Symbian OS. He has produced software in OPL since 1994, including the ever--popular and addictive a Vexeda game for Symbian OS mobile phones. Since providing support for and fostering a vibrant Open Source and Freeware community for Programmers through the FreEPOC Software House, Ewan has continued to help the wider Symbian community through the All About Symbian family of websites. He strongly believes that Programming computers should be something that is easy, accessible, and simple to understand for every user. It shouldna t require a university degree and months of studying. He currently lives in Edinburgh with his wife, Vikki, his two daughters, Eilidh and Mairi, and Crow, the puppet.
