This book is an excellent introduction to the J2ME Platform. It is well written, easy to follow and has excellent examples. This book is a must read for anyone involved in Mobile Platform development.

Never programmed in java beyond the Hello World type application and bought this book. This along with one that covers learning the syntax of java and I have written two useful apps that I have on my phone. I have something pretty complex as my ultimate goal (although text based - not a game) and feel confident this gives me enough to accomplish that goal.

I was still fairly new to Java, but noticed that there was a J2ME study group near me.The bokk helped me both with Java knowledge in general as as well as J2ME in particular Jana Leader, San Gabriel Valley Java Users Group

this book is very easy to read..good technical explanations., easy to understand JME model concept.. reallity from beginner to professional.. very sugested..

If you need a no-nonsense, down-to-earth, non-philosophical guide for how to write Java applications for mobile/cellular phones, this is the best book you can buy today. It's very concrete, with lots of working examples etc, and leaves out the fluffy stuff that's so typical for computer books nowadays. The book is an especially good starting point if you are into applications (communicating or non-communicating), but the APIs for writing games are also covered. I hadn't programmed in Java before (yet C and Visual Basic for many years), but I had no problems developing mobile applications after reading this book. Being such a concentrated book means it also works as a reference for when you need to look things up. All in all, this book is for real developers and strongly recommended.
