I can recommend the following resources for Symbian C++ related programming:

• Tutorials, code examples and forum at forum.nokia.com
  but I guess you already found this one :)
• Tutorials, code examples and forum at www.newlc.com
  
• White papers and Symbian OS documentation at www.symbian.com/developer
• Tutorials and code examples at www.symbianexample.com
• Newsgroups regarding a wide range of Symbian related topics: nttp://publicnews.symbiandevnet.com
• The Descriptor FAQ: http://descriptors.blogspot.com/2005...iptor-faq.html

Also I would recommend the following books about Symbian C++/Series 60:
- Symbian OS explained (a lot of infromation about Symbian C++ paradigms)
- Developing Series 60 Applications: A Guide for Symbian OS C++ Developers

Regarding the C++ programming language itself, I would recommend the following books:
- The C++ Programming Language - by Bjarne Stroustrup
- Exceptional C++ / More Exceptional C++ - by Herb Sutter

You can start with experimenting and running the HelloWorld Example that came with the SDK.

Hi Mollevp,

Thank you very much for your help ..but what are the most important books that I can take? cause I choose 2 books from what you mention before like:

-Symbian OS explained
-The C++ Programming Language - by Bjarne Stroustrup

Also are these books have information for my programs that I used like carbide c++ express & codeworrior? so I can back to these books if I have problems..

thank you again..

Regards.

-Symbian OS explained
-The C++ Programming Language - by Bjarne Stroustrup

Are both excellent choices!

Also are these books have information for my programs that I used like carbide c++ express & codeworrior? so I can back to these books if I have problems..

No, I'm afraid not - they only explain the actual programming.. However regarding help using the IDEs (I've never use CW) the Carbide.c++ has a very extensive help documentation (so you can find that information there).

Also I've written a getting started for Carbide.c++ 1.1 at:
http://mobiledevices.kom.aau.dk/deve...xpress_ide_11/

An additional note: Non of the books explain how to write UI code, so you probably need to refer to the many on-line resources for that information.
