Common Design Patterns for Symbian OS: The Foundations of Smartphone Software

1.8. Conventions

To help you get the most out of this book and keep track of what's happening, we've used a number of typographical conventions throughout:

• When we refer to words used in code, such as variables, classes and functions, or to filenames, then we use this style: iEikonEnv, ConstructL(), and e32base.h.

• When we list code, or the contents of files, we use the following convention:

  This is example code;

• URLs are written like this: www.symbian.com/developer.

• Classes or objects that form part of Symbian OS are shown in a darker color to indicate that they should be reused when a pattern is implemented. Classes or objects that you are expected to implement yourself are shown in a lighter color.
