This book assumes a good understanding of C++, and how to create C++ programs.

This book attempts to explain key maemomm concepts and introduce some of the more commonly used user interface elements ("widgets"). Although it mentions classes, constructors, and methods, it does not go into great detail. For full API information you should follow the links into the reference documentation.

The maemomm platform is an extension of the gtkmm platform, so you will often wish to refer to the gtkmm documentation. You may also wish to use gconfmm to store application preferences.

We would very much like to hear of any problems you have learning maemomm with this document, and would appreciate input regarding improvements. Please see the Contributing section for further information.
