Customer Reviews

Never boring to read

Most of the authors(The "About the Authors" session is a particular fun to read, I found one of them is my collegue) are either system architect or team lead, so they have intimate knowledge of their specialty areas. The book has in-depth coverage of some very interesting area like Loder, DMA, interrupts and device driver, now the only drawback is its price.

Good book

This book is an excellent book. For someone who is familiar with Symbian and would like to develop drivers and all this is a very good book.
