Learning Wireless Java is for Java developers who want to create applications for the Micro Edition audience using the Connected, Limited Device Configuration and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). These APIs specifically for devices such as mobile phones and pagers, allowing programmers to create MIDlet applications. This book offers a solid introduction to J2ME and MIDP, including the javax.microedition classes, as well as classes surrounding the features of the various platforms that the J2ME supports.
Full Description
This book offers a solid introduction to J2ME and MIDP, including an explanation of the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, the MIDlet lifecycle methods, the Java application manager, and the CLDC and MIDP constraints. In addition, we cover the javax.microedition.io, javax.microedition.rms, javax.microedition.lcdui, and javax.microedition.midlet classes, as well as the modified java.lang, java.io, and java.util classes. Discussion centers around building safe, compact applications with the sophisticated graphical interface, database, and networking capabilities that the J2ME supports. In addition, this book also shows you how to download your applications to the latest J2ME-enabled devices, including the Motorola i50x and i85s phones and upgraded Palm handhelds.

A good jumpstart., August 29 2006
Certainly not definitive, but about what I'd expect in 150 pages. I feel the objective was to bring the reader up to a level where the API javadocs had some meaning and context. I feel it does this quite well.
Step 1) Read the book.
Step 2) Read the API Javadocs.
Step 3) Have fun!
this book is useless crap, May 17 2006
I have read this book from cover to cover only to find that it contains nothing useful at all. All the information can be found either at java.sun.com or on some free forums.
This book is a piece of shit.
The second one by Kim Topley is much better written. (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/j2meanut/) ()
Learning Wireless Java Review, February 01 2002
This book reads as if the author just finished reading a book written by SOMEONE ELSE on the same topic. Everything is scatchy. The examples are so trivial that you can find them on the web (free of charge!) There are also countless and obivious erros all over the places which makes me think the author may never actually tried programs on the device himself. overall a rush job to make quick money.
Learning Wireless Java Review, January 31 2002
Hi,
I tried the sample on my local machine. It doesn't work properly. It only works at the first time when I invoke the today.jsp. After that, I have to restart my jrun server in order to invoke the today.jsp again.
I don't know what is going on.
If anyone has ideas, just let me know it.
Thanks in advanced
Eddy

"'Learning Wireless Java' is an approachable and exhaustive guide to MIDP and MIDlet programming that wireless Java developers will find useful and informative. The author's explanations of why things are they way they are, and not just how they should be done, are particularly commendable."
--Danny Kalev, IBM Developerworks, Oct 2002
"The book is a worthwhile read, easy to understand and follow if you have a good knowledge of Java behind you, and can definitely give you a good introduction to wireless development. Rating 9/10."
