Symbian String Understanding Tutorial

I have a Carbide.S ++ developer from Nokia and I want to create applications for my S60 phone. I looked at the samples that come with another SDK for the S60, but I did not find a simple explanation of how strings called descriptors are used on Symbian.

One of the problems is that I have low vision, and therefore, to read large documents that have a page up and down pages with a lot of plain information, I gave up. It takes quite a lot of time.

I am ready to give him another try. Can anybody help me?

Here are some sites on blogspot that can help. They have RSS feeds that we hope will be easier to consume than swap through PDF files.

I would be the second http://descriptors.blogspot.com/ This is invaluable in order to deal with descriptors.

In addition, sites like newlc.com have forums for problems with Symbian C ++ code.

The best advice regarding descriptors that I give to any new Symbian developer in my company is to try to avoid using descriptors when it's not necessary. The Symbian SDK has a libc API that includes stdio, stdlib, string, and more. I usually use char * types, and if necessary, I convert it to a descriptor (when I need to send a string to the SDK method that requires it).
