then please check the books I pointed out but be prepared to some more
learning, as simbian developement is pretty much different from
windows or posix developement. The tutorials will teach you the
language but you probably won't be able to use much of the
developement concepts you'll be learning. Jamal packaged one tutorial
about simbian developement, which you will need to read and understand
latter, but first you need to get used and able to understand the
language.

When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just
stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for
