Good book

By A. Shah - March 23, 2008

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.

Never boring to read

By Yong Zhi - March 26, 2009

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.
