Instant wireless Java with J2ME

Now you can get up to speed on the technology all the major wireless players--Palm, Handspring, RIM (Blackberry), Nokia, and Sony--are implementing with this hands-on resource. Ideal for developers, this thorough and precise book addresses Java support to consumer and embedded wireless devices, including mobile phones, pagers, PDAs, digital television setup boxes, and much more.

Wireless designers face the challenge of achieving their vision in the limited environment offered by devices like cell phones and PDAs. Recommended for all public libraries, Usability Handbook modifies advice found in web usability guides (see Computer Media, LJ 5/1/02) for the wireless environment, focusing on how wireless devices work and how best to design for them. Chapter summaries and discussion questions aid understanding; the CD-ROM includes WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) emulators and templates. Larger public libraries can consider the next two guides: for beginning wireless developers, WAP 2.0 discusses developing with WAP, then moves on to more advanced topics such as WMLScript, ASP, and connecting to databases. For more advanced developers, Wireless Java teaches wireless application development through step-by-step examples. The CD-ROM contains sample code. (c) Copyright 2010.
