Sun's J2ME'¢ 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 J2ME'¢ 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.

Wireless Device Programming with Java 2 Micro Edition assumes readers are motivated to build the next generation wireless application by leveraging the J2ME technology. The book provides commercial-quality code and examples primarily based on the industry-leading Motorola phone emulator.

This is a step-by-step guide to successful wireless application design and development with Sun's Java 2 Micro Edition platform. Authored by one of Sun's leading wireless application consultants, it covers every key feature of the J2ME platform, and every step of the process -- from architecture through deployment. Piroumian begins by introducing the J2ME computing platform, key terminology, basic concepts, and application development process. Next, you'll walk through creating, compiling, preparing, executing, and debugging J2ME applications. One step at a time, you'll master J2ME MIDP platform's high-level and low-level APIs, user interface components, persistent storage mechanisms, and services for networking and distributed processing. The book teaches how to build applications from the ground up, using running examples. All topics are introduced in a logical order where each concept builds upon the ones that precede it. Piroumian also covers architecture and its impact on the developer; and introduces key elements of a complete wireless solution, including gateways, Internet portal interfaces, and wireless application interfaces.

bull; Covers basic J2ME profiles and popular mobile Java APIs fresh from the Java Community Process bull; Explains wireless Java technologies that enable mobile commerce and Web services bull; Provides complete sample code for each technology covered bull; Written by award-winning author, Michael Yuan -- JavaWorld columnist for the "Wireless Java " column

The example-rich guide to J2ME for experienced Java developers, this volume covers everything developers need to get started with J2ME and achieve powerful results. Includes over 50 well-designed examples--all clearly commented, and thoroughly explained.

Part of the new Cracking the Code Series, Wireless Programming with J2ME provides a look at the code behind wireless Java applications. Think of J2ME as a tiny version of Java specifically for mobile devices -- perfect for bringing powerful, robust applications to mobile phone, pagers, PDAs, and other handhelds. Writing applications for handheld and mobile devices is different than regular Java programming. Mobile developers have to deal with limited screen real estate, bandwidth and computing power. This book covers six wireless applications complete with Flow Diagrams and line-by-line code description. It covers all of J2ME including CDC,CLDC and MIDP with an emphasis on practical code.

A solid introduction to working with the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which contains the APIs designed specifically for writing applications that need to run on wireless and embedded devices. It includes reference material on the core and javax.microedition classes, as well as on the classes specific to the various wireless platforms the J2ME supports.

A guide to developing network programs covers networking fundamentals as well as TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting protocol, content handlers, servlets, I/O, parsing, Java Mail API, and Java Secure Sockets Extension.

Master the newest way of creating applications for wireless devices! Mobile Information Device Profile for Java(TM) 2 Micro Edition Professional Developer's Guide As the first Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) profile, the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) brings the power of Java to handheld devices like cell phones, interactive pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). With this practical, hands-on reference, you'll learn how to create MIDP applications, with real development scenarios covering user interfaces, database networking, XML, security, and more. This timely book follows on the heels of Giguère's Java 2 Micro Edition to offer you the definitive guide to understanding and using the Mobile Information Device Profile. This complete guide to MIDP programming covers such topics as: * The basics of J2ME * How to build and run MIDP applications * MIDP programming examples * The MIDP user interface model * Persisting data with MIDP * Using HTTP as a way to exchange data with servers on the Internet * The importance of security for wireless devices * Writing MIDP applications that use XML * Future directions of MIDP The companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/ortiz updates the material in the book and provides additional examples and resources as well as current links to the various specifications and toolkits mentioned throughout the book. Professional Developer's Guides The Professional Developer's Guide series provides the first in-depth look at recent or emerging programming technologies. Experienced programmers and developers will find comprehensive coverage of new programming standards as well as code, sample programs, developer's tools, and applications that will make programming for a new technology much easier.
