Product Description

Product Description

A guide to programming Symbian OS smartphones using OPL (The Open Programming Language): a simple to learn, open–source scripting language, ideal for fast–track development of enterprise applications.

This book provides a hands–on development environment for both the experienced and aspiring programmer, demonstrating the ease of use of Symbian OS technologies through the utilization of OPL.

OPL has a shallow learning curve which allows bespoke corporate tools to be developed in house by technical staff who aren’t necessarily trained programmers. Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS provides a clear guide on both how to program, and understanding the structure of the language through a keyword dictionary. Any bespoke OPL application can grow with a company, eventually providing access to more advanced C++ code through OPX extensions.

From the home programmer who wants to do more with their phone, to the enterprise developer, Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS is the ideal starting point for simple, innovative application design using OPL.

Source code is available from www.symbian.co.uk/books

Format:Paperback
This book is terrific for anyone looking to write software for their Symbian mobile phone.

Starting with basics it gets progressively more complicated, but not dauntingly so. By the end you will have written a working piece of software for your phone.

It needs a followup book as there are some holes in there, or arguably it is very focussed on the message it is getting across.

The last part of the book is a command reference for OPL and is a invaluable resource when you are half way through writing something ad can't remember how a command is structured.

OPL is a terrific free language and the book is well justified if you want a quick easy and fun way to get your ideas running on your phone.
