Symbian OS Internals: Real-time Kernel Programming

Description

Symbian OS Internals gives an under-the-hood view of Symbian’s new real-time kernel. This book concentrates throughout on the kernel, pointing out key differences from the old kernel where they affect the target audience. Its approach is technical in nature, with clear explanations and diagrams. Basic computer science terms are not explained, unless their usage is unusual in Symbian OS.
