What you’ll find in this guide
The Neutrino Programmer’s Guide is intended for developers who are building
applications that will run under the QNX Neutrino Realtime Operating System.
Depending on the nature of your application and target platform, you may also need to
refer to Building Embedded Systems. If you’re using the Integrated Development
Environment, see the IDE User’s Guide. For a different perspective on programming
in Neutrino, see Getting Started with QNX Neutrino: A Guide for Realtime
Programmers.
