There’s a great new free booklet entitled "Data Sharing Tips" that describes common methods of sharing data within Symbian 9.x.

Strangely, it doesn’t mention Client-Server, the most used Symbian OS data sharing mechanism.

Also, many of these mechanisms may be over the top for simple applications. The simplest way of sharing data is via files! These have the advantage that data can also be read by a human. One tip for beginners: Don’t save to the (default) private directory otherwise other applications won’t be able to see the data. Instead write to non-protected directories.

Update from David Mery… Check out the UIQ FAQ "Where should I store my files and why some of my files disappear?"
