 With the release of Java 2 Micro Edition
(J2ME), Sun Microsystems opened Java to the rapidly expanding
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) market. This comprehensive
tutorial and reference provides an in-depth look at developing
PDA software with J2ME and PersonalJava, covering both Palm and
PocketPC devices.
Succinct and practical, Java Development
on PDAs focuses on real-world programming tasks with extensive
code examples and an end-to-end PDA application demonstrating
techniques for integrating devices with the enterprise via Web
services. This book describes the J2ME platform and PersonalJava
and discusses design issues specific to resource-constrained
devices.
It also provides in-depth coverage of
networking and Internet access, the user interface, data
storage, and integrating PDAs into the corporation.
You will learn to develop Java
applications for PocketPC and Palm devices through in-depth
coverage of:
-
J2ME
