    3.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference to new APIs, needs more about GUI design
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2010
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The book gives a useful introduction in to writing Qt apps for Symbian devices. The new APIs such as location and messaging are described in some detail, with example source.

    What I haven't found in the book is a guide to making apps fit on the small screen, or a reference to how the various Qt controls are rendered on different phones.

    The book will point you in the right direction, but needs to be combined with a good Qt book (I suggest C++ GUI Programming with Qt4 (Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development)) and online API reference.
