About the Book
With this book, developers will learn how J2ME technology is applied in the
wireless world. Wireless applications are a major milestone in making the Java
platform accessible to a much wider community of software developers.
This definitive guide describes programming wireless, mobile Internet devices using
the J2ME platform and its wireless technology. The book provides an overview of the K
virtual machine (KMV), and in-depth coverage of the CLDC and MIDP standards, which
define the Java platform for wireless, resource-constrained devices such as mobile
phones, advanced pagers, and PDAs.
