I originally started writing this book as part of the Symbian Press Technology
series back in May 2008. Since that time, a lot has changed in
the mobile software world, particularly for those working with Symbian
devices. The book you now hold in your hands is published by the
Symbian Foundation using a rather more informal approach.
Determining the content of a technical book in a fast-moving industry
is never easy but when organizations and strategies are changing
faster than the code, it becomes extremely difficult. Because of that,
several sections of this book have been revised multiple times in a
valiant effort to bring the most relevant and up-to-date information to
you, the reader. I sincerely hope we’ve succeeded. Nevertheless, we
anticipate further changes, if only to some of the URLs we reference.
For that reason, you can find a wiki page for this book at developer.
symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Porting_to_the_Symbian_Platform, which
will also be used to host the example code accompanying the book
and to record errata reported against this version of the text.
