1.1 Introduction to Maemo Platform Development

D-Bus is an important middleware solution in the maemo $^{\textrm{\textsc{tm}}}$ platform that allows multiple processes to communicate with each other. A lot of existing services are already available using D-Bus, and this material will introduce you to the different ways that you can utilise these services from your programs. Implementing new services so that other programs may use them using D-Bus is equally important, and different techniques and approaches to do this are covered as well.

The material assumes knowledge of the C programming language, general Linux programming concepts and knowledge of the topics covered in the "maemo Getting Started" and "maemo Application Development" materials.

This version of the material covers maemo SDK version 4.1.x, Diablo.
