Wiley, 2008. - 444 p.Common Design Patterns for Symbian OS is the first design patterns book that addresses Symbian OS specifically. It introduces programmers to the common design patterns that help implement a large variety of applications and services on Symbian OS.

* Provides patterns based on the Symbian OS architectural elements
* Describes how patterns suited for non-mobile software should be adapted or even avoided for Symbian OS
* Provides Symbian OS based examples and code illustrations
Each chapter covers patterns that address specific key concern experienced by developers: memory performance, time performance, power performance, security and responsiveness.
