The Symbian Blog today posted about ‘Symbian Wiki Books‘-Symbian Wiki is a online book about Python development on the Symbian platform, aimed to Python newbies. This Book is being created in collaboration with number of authors, all of them contributing to this book online. The book is already up with 10 chapters and taking shape of Online symbian Wiki, where you can also contribute.

“The book is aimed at those new to Python (on Symbian or indeed on any platform). Although the wiki text is not yet complete, it already forms an excellent resource. Mike Jipping’s chapter on Basic Python Elements is a great guide to the fundamentals of the language, while for those who already know Python, a chapter on Standalone Applications explains how to make Python much more accessible to users of Symbian devices. There are also chapters on User Interface Basics, the Touch User Interface, and Location Based Services.

If you’re interested in learning about Python, the wiki book is a very good place to start – and as you read it, if you have any corrections, feedback or ideas for improvement, please leave them as comments at the bottom of the wiki page. We’ll acknowledge all contributions in the finished book, and are very keen to get your ideas as the text evolves.”
