Tizen For Dummies book, 2.0 Alpha & 2.1 release
If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of Tizen For Dummies at the Tizen Conference last month, you’ve already got the most up to date version of this book. The original Tizen for Dummies book, released in February 2013, was written using version 2.0 alpha of the Tizen SDK and the 2.1 release brought with it quite a few changes. We’ve summarised the main changes in the document you can download below.

Is it possible to view all the available apps in Tizen Store? I could not find the link for it? Or, will this feature would be available only when the devices are launched?

Hey guys, the document that you get with SDK (Help menu -> Help Contents) is much more comprehensive than the contents of book Tizen for Dummies. I have one lying around with me and apart from first few times, I hardly open that book.
You can find all relevant and necessary document in SDK document. Refer that and I'm sure, you'll be happy.

Hi Anuj, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I know its a rich source of information, but still can you please mail me the eBook at mrinal2000@gmail.com. It would be very helpful. Thanks.
BY Anuj Mishra,
I have hard copy of it not the e-book. So, could not mail it. :(
BY Mrinal Mandal,
Ok... Thanks for the quick reply Anuj. How can i contact u outside of this forum?

I don't understand how there may not be enough copies for e-book. This is not a paper to be out of. And why all links to video tutorials do not work. The documentation is very bad and links leading to another page with links. I haven't seen anything like that.
BY Cheng Luo,
it's like you buying kindle books from Amazon, every Tizen for Dummies e-book we are giving out, we pay for that copy. And we only have limited copies we purchased from Wiley.
I will share you comments to the team who manages the website, could you give me the link of video and document you mentioned?
BY Krasen Dimkov,
all links here: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/articles/audio-video-playback-...
and also https://source.tizen.org/ bottom left "Video tutorials"
For the book.... Ok I understand that for the copies of the book. But I want to buy the book. Why there are not more copies on some market like amazon. It's not problem for e-book to have thousand of copies. I don't want to buy them from you. I want to buy them from anywhere.
BY Cheng Luo,
Tizen for Dummies is a custom book, not a retail book. You can't buy it from Amazon or anywhere else. You only get it when you attended the Tizen Conference this year. Same for the e-book, you cannot buy it. There are only limited number of e-books we purchased from the publisher. You understand now?
BY Krasen Dimkov,
Of course not. Books are about to read. I can not attend your conference and therefore no way to get one. If you want to develop, the future policy will need to be much more open to the world. You can not release product before writing instructions for it. And it's stupid when you have books to keep it for yourself. You should grab the attention of more people and giving books to only these that are on the conference is very wrong. You need community!!! Please move your ass and do something about this. Reading is the only way to understand something truly. It's pretty obvious that you are the ones that are limiting the book and not the people who created it.
BY Cheng Luo,
Hey, two things to correct here, i am the one create the content, and i am the one decided to give the book for free. So not like what you said we want to keep it ourselves. Why we do that.
Please send me an email (c.luo@samsung.com), i will send you the link to download the e-book.

"all links here: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/articles/audio-video-playback-..."
I mean all uri in the table.
BY Cheng Luo,
hey guys, sorry, the e-book is actually not free. We only got 1000 copies from Wiley, and has been give out all to the survey participants. Off the record, I think you probably find someone already post the pdf somewhere :)

BY Cheng Luo,
Hi, there are limited number of original e-books. They've given to the Tizen developer survey participants. And sorry we don't have anymore left.
BY Mrinal Mandal,
Hi Cheng,
Can you somehow manage to post here ebook in a pdf format? I also want to know whether its a free book ?
BY Cheng Luo,
Hi Mrinal, it's not a free book, but send me an email (c.luo@samsung.com), i can send you the download link.

Hello Sir,
Just a little question.
Is the book helpful for both native and web app developers or is it for a specific developemnt type.
As I am interested in native application development so I need a book which expalins native development.???
