Covers the Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0 and its security features and user interface, discusses the media and game APIs, and explores performance tuning and cryptography.

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.

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.

* J2ME or Wireless Java development platform is a topic of interest, and is still a hot topic for shows like JavaOne. * Empowered by info on GUI graphics, sound, and music; enables a beginning wireless Java developer to build games for cell phone and other wireless devices. * Easy-to-read style with lots of practical, hands-on code examples.

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 great addition to the Instant series that covers developing wireless Java applications with J2ME, Suns new Java 2 Micro Edition for small devices. A true hands-on guide with a unique, cookbook style approach.

Sams Teach Yourself Wireless Java with J2ME in 21 Days captures the growing beginner and hobbyist market interested in building wireless applications.
