With that in mind, this book provides an abundance of source code, with the intention of presenting solutions to real-world programming issues. Further, as J2ME is a subset of Java 2 Standard Edition, a background in Java programming is essential to make the most of this book.Focus of this BookWith many years of experience as a developer, and an extensive background in technical training, I've discovered that most people (myself included) learn best by example. It also includes a quick reference guide for both MIDP and CLDC.Although this book takes a step-by-step approach to teaching application development with MIDP, the assumption is made that the reader will have experience as a software developer. The entire programming interface is covered in a logical step-by-step manner, leaving no stone unturned. It has what I feel are the essentials to get up and running, everything from downloading and installing thesoftware to writing applications from simple to comprehensive. Most important of all, there always seemed to be gap between what information I could find and what appeared to be available as part of the specification describing the technology.I hope this book is as close to one-stop shopping as you will find for learning and developing applications for J2ME and the Mobile Information Device Profile. There was never one definitive guide covering everything: where to find the software, how to install and configure my computer, and learning to write applications from the ground up. Instead I found myself putting together pieces and parts based on information from various websites, newsgroups, how-to articles, and the like. ![]() Together, these application programming interfaces (API's) form a complete J2ME development toolkit for wireless devices including: mobile phones, pagers and personal organizers.Who Is This Book ForAs a developer at heart, I have often sought a book that covered "all I need to know" to get started with a technology that was of interest. With its support for a broad range of devices and portability across platforms, acceptance among manufacturers and service providers has been astounding.The focus of this book is on application development using the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). ![]() The opportunity for those interested in writing for the J2ME platform speaks for itself. ![]() From the Book:PrefaceIt is estimated that in Japan alone over 20 million Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) enabled mobile phones were manufactured in 2001.
