2007-08-23 Book fully updated for Symbian OS v9, with some new content

Amazon are still showing reviews for previous volumes of the book, but this new version has been fully updated for Symbian OS v9.

Some of the chapters have had basic updates (for example, the first chapter now uses Nokia's free Carbide.c++ rather than CodeWarrior), other chapters have been completely rewritten (such as the chapter on Descriptors) and some chapters are completely new (the chapters on Debugging & Emulator and on the new Symbian SQL implementation).

We've also re-ordered the chapters, so that they progress from the basics of Symbian OS itself, through the core concepts to the UI, finally looking at some of the most useful system services. The book also uses newly revised and simplified example code.

The book is now ideal for those developers who know C++ but want to learn about and work with Symbian OS v9. It took us well over a year to produce, and we hope readers will find it a worthy companion to the two previous volumes, and to other Symbian Press books.
