Feng Y., Zhu J. Wireless Java Programming with Java 2 Micro Edition

Sams Publishing, 2001. — 511 p.The use of wireless devices such as cellular phones and two-way pagers has undergone tremendous growth over the past few years. According to a recent study, there will be one billion wireless subscribers worldwide by 2004. As the wireless market matures, people will demand more advanced reliable applications. Sun and a group of wireless industry leaders such as Motorola, Nokia, and Palm defined a new set of standards called Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) to help develop and deploy the next generation wireless applications that can change the way people live and the way they do business.
J2ME was first introduced at the JavaOne Conference in 1999. It is the edition of the Java 2 platform targeted at consumer electronics and embedded devices. In J2ME, the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) are specifically designed for the wireless devices.
The purpose of this book is to help you to understand the concepts of J2ME technology, specifically the CLDC and MIDP, and to teach you how to develop wireless applications using J2ME’s CLDC and MIDP. We try to reach this goal by progressively guiding you through all the key aspects of application programming in J2ME MIDP with easy-to-understand examples.Getting Started
