Python on Symbian: Mobile app development made easy

Our new book “Python on Symbian” is now available in printed form on Amazon.com here.

We’ve working on it for over a year, but it was still a surprise when the final printed copy came to over 600 pages of expert-written text, diagrams and examples! Python on Symbian remains freely available on the wiki. However if you’re like us there is something satisfying in having a printed book – and as it is priced to cover costs, you can afford to!

Python on Symbian is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to create powerful mobile apps on Symbian without the overhead of learning C++. It covers everything from an overview of the Python programming language syntax through to how to write graphical applications that take advantage of touch screen, networking, sensors and other features of modern mobile devices. This definitely is a book for the faint-hearted, while still offering plenty of useful advice and tips for expert developers.

With the recent news that Nokia are keeping the current platform UI libraries, the book will continue to be relevant for the forseeable future. Hope you enjoy it!
