Porting to the Symbian Platform: Open Mobile Development in C/C++

Mark Wilcox has been involved in handset development projects for Ericsson, Fujitsu, Nokia, Panasonic and Samsung. He has worked on everything from a GPRS stack, device drivers and a power management server to messaging applications and the code that draws the soft keys. While working as a Software Architect for Nokia's Multimedia business unit, developing their flagship Nseries products, he developed an interest in the multimedia capabilities of Symbian OS, and drew on this experience when co-authoring Multimedia on Symbian OS: Inside the Convergence Device for Symbian Press in 2008.
Mark became interested in the open source development model while working on Linux-based set-top box products and has been actively attempting to improve the environment for free and open source software on Symbian OS ever since. He has successfully ported a number of application and middleware projects to Symbian OS, both open and closed source, and has written a paper about a recent port of Linux code to Symbian OS for the Symbian Developer Network.
An Accredited Symbian Developer and a Forum Nokia Champion in 2007.
