1.3. Which Version of Symbian OS this Book Is For

This book applies to Symbian OS v9.1 and onwards, which means that all the patterns described work in all v9.x releases. However, a number of the patterns are not specific to any particular version of Symbian OS and can therefore be applied to earlier versions of the operating system as well.

The patterns contained in this book are also expected to be equally applicable to any future version of the Symbian platform. While some of the details of the operating system may well change, it is unlikely that there will be significant differences that impact the level of abstraction in which the patterns of this book are described.
