A guide to programming Symbian OS smartphones using OPL (The OpenProgramming Language): a simple to learn, open-source scriptinglanguage, ideal for fast-track development of enterpriseapplications.
This book provides a hands-on development environment for boththe experienced and aspiring programmer, demonstrating the ease ofuse of Symbian OS technologies through the utilization of OPL.
OPL has a shallow learning curve which allows bespoke corporatetools to be developed in house by technical staff who aren'tnecessarily trained programmers. Rapid Mobile EnterpriseDevelopment For Symbian OS provides a clear guide on both howto program, and understanding the structure of the language througha keyword dictionary. Any bespoke OPL application can grow with acompany, eventually providing access to more advanced C++ codethrough OPX extensions.
From the home programmer who wants to do more with their phone,to the enterprise developer, Rapid Mobile Enterprise DevelopmentFor Symbian OS is the ideal starting point for simple,innovative application design using OPL.

Ewan Spence studied Computing and Artificial Intelligence atEdinburgh University before discovering his first Psion PDA.Since then he has actively followed the development of mobilecomputing technology, and become one of the leading of mobilecomputing technology, and become one of the leading authorities onthe OPL language of Symbian OS.
He has produced software in OPL since 1994, including theever-popular and addictive 'Vexed' game for Symbian OS mobilephones. Since providing support for and fostering a vibrant OpenSource and Freeware community for Programmers through the FreEPOCSoftware House, Ewan has continued to help the wider Symbiancommunity through the All About Symbian family of websites. Hestrongly believes that Programming computers should be somethingthat is easy, accessible, and simple to understand for every user.It shouldn't require a university degree and months ofstudying.
He currently lives in Edinburgh with his wife, Vikki, his twodaughters, Eilidh and Mairi, and Crow, the puppet.
