Core content level learning outcomes (knowledge and understanding)

The student learns to understand the special features of Symbian-programming like the limited amount of resources (memory space, processor speed, energy consumption, small display) and on the other hand the utilization of communication resources. Symbian is a genuine real-time operating system that is implemented using object-oriented approach. The course complements and deepens the knowledge of operating systems and object oriented program development.

Core content level learning outcomes (skills)

After completing the unit the student is capable in practice to develop mobile applications is in the Symbian environment using the native programming interface of Symbian (ie. C++-interface). . The student can use the conventions of the Symbian C++ in appropriate way and on the other hand can effectively use services of the Symbian operating system. The student can write effective and applications without memory leaks using the tools provided by the Symbian operating system
