Pro Java ME Apps


I find mobile phones to be amazing pieces of technology. They allow you to be almost anywhere in the world and still be able to reach your friends, loved ones, colleagues or business partners with a press of a button. If that wasn’t enough, they have grown so powerful that they are now nothing short of pocket computers. Only a few decades ago the only place you could see a similar devices was a Star Trek movie – now they’re reality. Modern mobile phones run on a variety of software platforms, but by far the most popular one in terms of reach and market share is Java ME. This once feature-limited platform has grown and matured over the years along with the hardware supporting it; is now capable of delivering truly amazing applications that have the potential to reach hundreds of millions (if not billions) of people. It is a bit disappointing, then, that the techniques developers use to write Java ME applications have not kept up with the times. Many developers, especially less experienced ones, tend to approach Java ME development in the same extremely conservative way that it was approached almost a decade ago, when the platform was in its infancy. Or, even worse, they treat Java ME like a desktop platform, with complete disregard to its nuances and to the fact that it is, in fact, a mobile platform designed to run on mobile devices. As a consequence, many Java ME applications fall short of their potential. The book you are reading right now aims to correct this by presenting how modern Java ME application development should be approached – complete with all the important tips and techniques applicable to the platform today.
