Good startup for J2ME
Review written by: Navin Kumar From VA, USA
A real good book. It introduces with basic wireless device technological architecture and then explains how J2ME can be used to develop wireless applications. A useful reference book if you want to start learning wireless programming.

Excellent book
Review written by: J. Fang From TX United States
Recently I had a need to come up a prototype in a short period of time. I started with no idea about J2ME programming. This book helped me a lot. It gives very detailed information on how to get start.

The examples in the book are excellent. Some examples about Networking, XML and SyncML, addresses the real problems every developer would encounter.

Considering the book comes so early, its coverage on J2ME is pretty decent. High level introduction of J2ME is not very comprehensive but very precise and informative.

Just About All That Is Available
Review written by: S. Brown From Potsdam, NY United States
Not many books are yet available on J2ME. For this reason alone, this text is decent. However, much of the text is simple embellishement of the limited J2ME MIDP documentation available from Sun. The examples are decent but sometimes confusing -- I typed in several and experienced minor problems with a few. My basic issue with the text is the lack of explaination. Code examples are good, but explaination is better and the topics are only modestly explained.

Overall, a decent first book on this issue but nothing spectacular.

Average book but good compared to what is out there.
Review written by: Renato J. Mascardo From San Francisco, CA
Normally I would rank this book as average, however compared to the books that are out there on J2ME technologies this book is good. The high level overview is informative and I liked that it drilled into the details of J2ME application development. The examples are and simple and clear. Overall, a good book for intermediate java programmers looking to get their foot into the J2ME door.

excellent book
An excellent book for experienced Java developers who want to quickly learn J2ME. It covers almost everything you need to know about J2ME MIDP programming. This book is very comprehesive and contains a lot of valuable infomation. The code examples are useful and clearly illustrate the points made. I highly recommend this book if you want to get into writing J2ME applications.
