The J2ME platform is rapidly gaining momentum, driven by the introduction of MIDP 2.0 and the new Mobile Service Architecture (MSA). The proliferation of Java-enabled mobile devices, and service providers' greater openness to third-party developmenthas made building customized mobile applications possible. Now, there's a practical, realistic guide to building MIDP 2.0/MSA applications that are robust, responsive, maintainable, and fun.Long-time J2ME developer and author Jonathan Knudsen offersreal solutions for the complex challenges of coding efficiency, application design, and usability in constrained mobile environments. Experienced Java developers will master MIDP 2.0/MSA programming through clear, carefully designed examples, including a start-to-finish, production-quality application case study. Downloadable code is available for both NetBeans Mobility and the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit.
