Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I expected this book to fill the gaps and give details beyond the Symbian/SDK documentation. This book does not do that at all. There is hardly anything in this book that you can't find else where. The book does not attempt to address "details" of a concept - it rather superficially "touches" a variety of subjects i.e. you can do this or that using Series 60 SDK, or here are the tyes of dialogs, queries etc. Although many of these discussions are accompanied by brief code snippets, those can also be found (in greater detail) in the Symbian/SDK documentation.
It is not a reference book which I expected it to be - rather its a book that explains the Series 60 in some technical detail. It can be helpful to a beginner who is just trying to understand the Series 60 patform, but it fails to assist real developers with real programming issues. This book played minimal part in helping me write my first Series 60 application - I had to rely on the documentation.
I'd give it 2.5 stars since its not completely worthless - but its not what it could/should be. Also you can tell that its been written by many different people as it lacks a consistent style, which I find irritating.
