Michael Aubert informed me of his new book, which was written with Jo Stichbury, Tanzim Husain, Alexey Gusev, Jenny Mulholland, Antony Pranata and Jukka Silvennoinen. The two latter Symbian experts were interviewed by us in the past.

The book is targeted at people who know C++ but have never developed for mobile devices. The writers also wanted the book to be accessible to academic staff and university students, to complement the Symbian Academy program.

The book also includes a ‘Getting Started’ chapter and another chapter that describes the essential idioms of Symbian C++. The book closes with an explanation of best practices, tips and tricks, and how to prepare your application for release - taking you from novice cook to cordon bleu chef in under 400 pages!

In simple terms, for a programmer it seems like the perfect book to get started with Symbian, but even for experts this should be a must-have, and a proof of that is the list of experts that compiled it.

Thanks Michael, hope to see more of these soon!
