Description
In this book, experts from Symbian, Nokia and Sun Microsystemsexpose the power of Java ME on Symbian OS. The bookintroduces programming with Java ME on Symbian OS, and also revealswhat is found 'under-the-hood'.
It is logically divided into four main sections:
* Introduction to Java ME and programming fundamentals
* Java ME on Symbian OS (core and advanced chapters)
* Drill down into MSA, DoJa and MIDP game development
* Under the hood of the Java ME platform
The book also includes two appendixes onSNAP Mobile technology andWidSets.
With over ten years' experience in Java technologies and over fouryears' experience at Symbian, the lead author Roy Ben Hayun nowworks for Sun Microsystems as a systems architect in theEngineering Services group, which leads the development, marketingand productizing of Java ME CLDC and CDC on differentplatforms.
