www.wiley.com/go/bada

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to get to grips with bada. While part 1 set the stage with general remarks about mobile app development and the basics of bada, part 2 goes well beyond this. It gives detailed information about the UI framework and graphics, the bada platform architecture and important coding idioms. In addition the BuddyFix app is introduced in more detail as our example application running throughout the book.
