Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Designed for writing programs that need to fit into embedded systems and other small environments, Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) has minimal resource requirements. J2ME in a Nutshell explains the J2ME way of doing things with a particularly handy mix of API documentation and example-centric tutorials. Kim Topley uses the proven Nutshell format to explain J2ME concisely but thoroughly. For the sorts of people who will be writing embedded applications in Java--programmers with experience either in other Java environments or with other embedded systems environments--this is a very good way of conveying information.

You can read this book, like all Nutshell books, from front to back in an effort to become familiar with its eponymous technology. More often, though, you'll search for a particular aspect of J2ME (particular graphical user interface elements, say, or over-the-air provisioning of MIDlet suites) and read Topley's prose explanations and annotated example code. These treatments are frequently enough to help you overcome stumbling blocks you encounter in the development process. If you're just looking for a reminder of how various classes work (their properties and methods, their return types, and their relationships to other pieces of J2ME), turn to the comprehensive J2ME API reference. Helpfully, it's not dry documentation: Topley comments on how to use each. --David Wall

Topics covered: Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) generally, and classes within it specifically. In addition to an annotated API reference, this book holds a lot of information about graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for small devices, the special considerations of designing applications for wireless environments, the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and MIDlets.

Major Keary, Book News 2002 No 10

"If you know Java and need to develop J2ME applications, this is an essential resource."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work book and reference book, 11 Aug 2004

By	Nicholas J. Lansley "Nick Lansley" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was taking a look at Java apps for mobile phones and this book managed to get me off the starting grid to having my own written midlets that could be downloaded from my own web site in just a couple of days.
Not only does the book take you back to Java basics to give you complete understanding of the cut-down Java classes for J2ME but also provides a complete detailed reference to those classes and how best to utilise them.
First class although unsurprisingly you do need a working knowledge of J2SE before you start.

5.0 out of 5 stars No better J2ME reference available, 30 April 2003

By	Mr Daniel Clapson - See all my reviews

As part of the award winning Nutshell series this J2ME edition covers every nuance relating to programming micro technology. The reason why so many programmers enjoy the nutshell books is due to their friendly - yet informative - editorial style. In keeping with the rest of the series, J2ME in a nutshell is split into 2 distinct sections: the first being a comprehensive tutorial and the second a quick look-up API reference. Unlike other API reference listings the author has included his own useful comments to bring context to the class packages.

MIDP has some very annoying issues, especially when trying to get your software to be 100% compatible with all JAVA enabled devices. This book is the most comprehensive - yet readable - guide we've found to help you over these compatibility pitfalls.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated but useful, 29 May 2009

By	U. Sule "RV" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No doubt well written and probably one of the best of its time although its far out of date.

If your willing to put in the work to find out what methods have replaced the deprecated ones and how to make things work for you then its a good introduction.

Personally I advise finding a more up to date book and learning from that instead.
