Course Description
This course introduces experienced Java programmers to the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). J2ME includes flexible user interfaces, robust security, built-in network protocols, and support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on J2ME are portable across many devices, yet leverage each device's native capabilities. The course introduces skills in J2ME for wireless devices via the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). It begins with a top-down tour of the J2ME architecture, focusing on wireless programming via the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the MIDP. It focuses on application of concepts through substantial hands-on exercises
