Description

The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. The Architecture Sourcebook is different.

It's not a how-to book, it's a 'what and why' book. And because it names names as it unwinds the design decisions which have shaped the OS, it is also a 'who' book. It will show where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It will also show why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian's key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the "inside story" around the architectural presentation.

The book will describe the OS architecture in terms of the Symbian system model. It will show how the model breaks down the system into parts, what role the parts play in the system, how the parts are architected, what motivates their design, and how the design has evolved through the different releases of the system.

Key system concepts will be described; design patterns will be explored and related to those from other operating systems. The unique features of Symbian OS will be highlighted and their motivation and evolution traced and described.

The book will include a substantial reference section itemising the OS and its toolkit at component level and providing a reference entry for each component.

描述




目前的Symbian Press書籍列表非常關注Symbian OS在編程上的小規模特性。《架構手冊》不同於此。


這不是一本如何做的書,而是一本關於「什麼」和「為什麼」的書。因為它在揭示塑造該操作系統的設計決策時提到了具體的名字,所以它也是一本關於「誰」的書。它將展示操作系統的起源,它如何演變成現在的樣子,並提供一個簡單的模型來理解它是什麼,它是如何組合在一起的,以及如何與它進行接口和工作。它還將展示為什麼做出了設計決策,並通過Symbian的主要架構師和開發人員的話語將這些決策生動地呈現出來,使書籍在架構展示中編織出「內幕故事」的感覺。


本書將以Symbian系統模型的角度描述操作系統架構。它將展示模型如何將系統分解為部分,這些部分在系統中扮演什麼角色,這些部分的架構是什麼,是什麼促使了它們的設計,以及設計如何在系統的不同版本中演變。


將描述關鍵的系統概念;將探討設計模式並與其他操作系統的模式相關聯。將突出Symbian OS的獨特特性,並追蹤和描述它們的動機和演變。


本書還將包括一個大量的參考部分,列舉了操作系統及其工具包的組件級別,並為每個組件提供參考條目。
