An in-depth tutorial on how to use Java 2 Micro Edition to programhandheld devices
Although Java is one of the most popular programming languages, itis too powerful to be used on wireless, handheld devices like thePalm Connected Organizer. A miniature version of Java, called Java2 Micro Edition, has now been created by Sun Microsystems to runspecifically on these devices. Written by software developer EricGiguere, this book provides an authoritative treatment of this newlanguage. Readers will learn what has to be done to make Javaworkable on these devices and what strategies are required to writeprograms that don't take up too much memory or run down thedevice's batteries. The book also provides complete coverage ofJava Micro Edition, including the profiles that define thecapabilities available to various devices.
CD-ROM includes licensed versions of the Java 2 Micro Edition SDK,Waba, and Kaffe. Examples are provided that run on multiplewireless platforms.
