Tote b5 10:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC) I would name this topic differently. I would name it Asynchronous processing or something like that and refer to Active Object and Active Scheduler as other articles in the Wiki. I would clearly leave in Symbian OS out from the name as the category is already implies that the topic is related to Symbian OS. The content of the article seems right, but I would also emphasize that using threads are mostly to be avoided in Symbian in favour of AOs.

Active objects is key (and complex) element in issuing asynchronous request in symbian. It uses an asynchronous service-provider to make an asynchronous service available to clients. An active object provides methods to issue a request to the service provider, get a notification when the request completes and to cancel the outstanding request. A beginners will always face problem working with active objects, So understanding active objects is important before using active objects.

Article described active objects framework graphically, will helps beginners to understand active objects thoroughly. Although article does not have any code example to understand it, it have enough information to understand active objects.
