Description
Sun's J2MEaA A Platform brings unprecedented power and platform independence to the wireless market. Sun has collaborated with virtually every wireless leader, including Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Palm, RIM, and Siemens. Now, a team of J2ME creators and leading-edge developers have come together to present the definitive guide to real-world J2ME development. Whether you're building next-generation cell phones, two-way pagers, personal organizers, or any other wireless device, this book delivers the specific techniques you need to succeed. Programming Wireless Devices With the J2MEaA A Platform starts with a much-needed general introduction and technical overview of J2ME technology and standards, and presents detailed case studies demonstrating J2ME at work in actual applications. The authors introduce key J2ME standards such as Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP); and show how to maximize performance, portability, and consistency in real-world J2ME development.For wireless developers, consumer and embedded systems engineers, and all Java developers who want to leverage their expertise in next-generation wireless application development.
