Description:
If you still break out into a sweat whenever someone starts talking about the exciting field of mobile computing, maybe it's time to get on the bandwagon and learn something about it. This session will bring you up to speed on Java mobile development and put you through basic training. We'll start with a J2ME overview and the mobile landscape and then continue with a look at the CLDC 1.1 configuration and MIDP 2.0 to see what they have to offer. We'll see the core differences between J2ME and J2EE, and how development is done with J2ME. We'll cover basic UI components and concepts and work through a simple MIDP 2.0 application. We'll also see what mobile enterprise development means and what can be accomplished with it.
