1.9. Other Sources of Information
Several times in this book we refer to the Symbian Developer Library (SDL). This is available online at developer.symbian.com/main/oslibrary and is integrated into the documentation that comes with the S60 and UIQ SDKs, which can also be found online on Forum Nokia (for S60) at www.forum.nokia.com and (for UIQ) on the UIQ Developer Community website at developer.uiq.com.
The official website for this book can be found at developer.symbian.com/design_patterns_book. You can download sample code, read an interview with the lead author and download an electronic copy of the first chapter. The sample code provided on this site will be a fuller version of the code snippets given in the implementation sections of selected patterns. Whilst this sample code will not be from a real-world example, it will be illustrative of the associated pattern particularly because it'll be complete enough to be run. However, don't forget that this code should not be simply be cut and pasted into your production code, not least because patterns are not strict templates but rather guidelines that should be modified to suit your specific environment.
You can find links to related articles and sites with additional information about patterns on the wiki page at developer.symbian.com/design_patterns_wikipage. The wiki can also be used to send us feedback about the book or even to submit your own favorite design patterns for Symbian OS.
