Editorial Review:

Product Description:


The release of MIDP 2.0 and the introduction of the new Mobile Service Architecture (MSA) are generating momentum for the Java ME platform. As more and more Java-enabled mobile devices become available and more service providers become open to third-party development, the demand for customized applications will grow dramatically. Now, there's a practical, realistic guide to building MIDP 2.0/MSA applications that are robust, responsive, maintainable, and fun.



Long-time Java ME author Jonathan Knudsen offers real solutions for the complex challenges of coding efficiency, application design, and usability in constrained mobile environments. Experienced Java developers will master MIDP 2.0 and MSA programming through clear, carefully designed examples. Downloadable code is available for both NetBeans Mobility Pack and the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit. Kicking Butt with MIDP and MSA's wide-ranging content covers:

  • Pushing MIDP's limits, and exploiting MSA's full power
  • Using MIDlets, Forms, commands, core classes, and invocation
  • Building effective mobile user interfaces
  • Designing graphics with the Canvas, the Game API, SVG, and 3D
  • Providing storage and resources: record stores, FileConnection, and PDA PIM
  • Internationalizing mobile applications
  • Networking via WMA, Bluetooth, Web services, and SIP
  • Parsing XML documents
  • Implementing audio and advanced multimedia
  • Securing mobile applications with SATSA and the Payment API
  • Building advanced location-based applications
  • Designing applications for multiple devices
  • Creating end-to-end mobile application architectures

I really hate Netbeans, but in spite of that fact, and the fact that this book makes heavy use of the technology, I dug into the book. I have a real interest in learning about the development of Java programs on cell phones past the writing of small local applications and games, and this book seemed to fit the bill. I'm the happy owner of many of the author's past books, and this one didn't disappoint me either. At first glance parts of the book look rather sparse. That is because, for one, Knudsen doesn't see the point in just regurgitating the standard. The second reason is that much of the source code is on the book's accompanying website. If you are interested in writing mobile applications with Java, I highly recommend this book. I discuss the book's contents chapter by chapter as follows: ... Read More
