作者简介：
Ben Morris joined Psion Software in October 1997, working in the software development kit team on the production of the first C++ and Java SDKs for what was at that time still the EPOC32 operating system. He led the small team that produced the SDKs for the ER5 release of EPOC32 and, when Psion Software became Symbian, he took over responsibility for expanding and leading the company's system documentation team. In 2002, he joined the newly formed System Management Group in the Software Engineering organization of Symbian, with a brief to 'define the system'. He devised the original System Model for Symbian OS and currently leads the team responsible for its maintenance and evolution. He can be found on the Internet at www.benmorris.eu
内容简介
The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. The Architecture Sourcebook is different.
It's not a how-to book, it's a 'what and why' book. And because it names names as it unwinds the design decisions which have shaped the OS, it is also a 'who' book. It will show where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It will also show why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian's key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the "inside story" around the architectural presentation.
The book will describe the OS architecture in terms of the Symbian system model. It will show how the model breaks down the system into parts, what role the parts play in the system, how the parts are architected, what motivates their design, and how the design has evolved through the different releases of the system.
Key system concepts will be described; design patterns will be explored and related to those from other operating systems. The unique features of Symbian OS will be highlighted and their motivation and evolution traced and described.
The book will include a substantial reference section itemising the OS and its toolkit at component level and providing a reference entry for each component.
