Social Theory and Philosophy for Information Systems ) John Wiley Series in Information Systems)

Author: John Mingers

As Information Systems matures as a discipline, there is a gradual move away from pure statistics towards consideration of alternative approaches and philosophies. This has not been incorporated into the literature of the field. Until now. Collecting major social theorists and philosophers into one volume, Social Theory and Philosophy for Information Systems provides a historical and critical analysis of each that is both authoritative and firmly focused on practical relevance to IS. The result is an insightful text for researchers, academics and students that will provide an up-to-date starting point for those considering alternative approaches.

Developing Series 60 Applications: A Guide for Symbian OS C++ Developers

Author: Leigh Edwards

"The robust, advanced technologies of Symbian OS are accessible to developers today in millions of phones worldwide through the Series 60 Platform. Inside Developing Series 60 Applications there are sixty example applications, focused entirely on native Symbian OS C++ programming, which will help developers take advantage of the rapidly growing opportunities in Symbian OS smartphone software development.

—David Levin, CEO, Symbian Ltd.

The first official book on Series 60 Platform development—from design to deployment

Series 60 smartphone developers are deploying the next wave of mobile services. With more than 60% of all mobile phone manufacturers licensing Series 60 Platform, Series 60 represents the smartphone market with the largest user base for mobile application developers.

To help nurture this growing market, Nokia has worked directly with EMCC Software, a leading Symbian and Series 60 Competence Center, to create Developing Series 60 Applications, the definitive guide to Series 60 development for C++ programmers and software designers. Fully reviewed by Nokia's subject matter experts, the authors cover the entire development process—from design, programming, and testing to debugging and deployment—while providing sixty complete projects, each with full C++ source code and installation scripts.

Developing Series 60 Applications includes coverage of:

• Series 60 development tools, IDEs, and C++ SDKs
• The underlying Symbian OS
• Application design with the Series 60 framework architecture
• User interface controls, menus, dialogs, lists, and editors
• Basic and advanced Series 60communications APIs
• Multimedia development: drawings, fonts, bitmaps, animation, and audio
• Invoking standard application views and using application engines
• Building more powerful applications with C++ APIs
• Series 60 Developer Platforms 1 and 2
