Book description

The authoritative tutorial for wireless J2ME application developers.

  • The essential tutorial for every J2ME platform developer: no wireless experience necessary

  • Complete coverage of architecture, design, coding, debugging, and deployment

  • Advanced topics include-persistent storage, networking, distributed processing, and internationalization

  • The J2ME platform: key terminology, concepts, and application development processes

    • The Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) platform gives developers breakthrough tools for building advanced wireless applications. Now, one of the leading wireless application consultants at Sun has written a step-by-step guide to successful wireless development using the J2ME SDK. Vartan Piroumian illuminates every key feature of the J2ME platform and every step of the development process: planning, architecture, design, coding, compilation, execution, debugging, and deployment. Wireless J2ME Platform Programming covers all this, and more:

  • Using the Mobile Information Device Profile's (MIDP) high-level and low-level APIs

  • Building effective wireless user interfaces with the J2ME platform

  • Leveraging the J2ME platform's facilities for persistent storage

  • Managing, provisioning, and internationalizing wireless applications

  • Integrating complete wireless solutions: Internet portal interfaces, wireless application interfaces, and the wireless Internet environment

    • Wireless J2ME Platform Programming: The must-have guide for writing robust, highly usable, cross-platform wireless applications.
