This book should be retitled as MIDPand JDBC:The complete reference. It is in NO way a complete reference for J2ME.
If you are looking a book on using the MIDP profile, this is as comprehensive as a book can get.It has complete code listings to explain each concept and has extensive coverage of the MIDP API's.
J2ME also consists of CDC profile that is used to write J2ME applications for wireless devices that are NOT memory constrained. When one clainms that they are creating a complete reference for J2ME, they cannot leave out CDC. This book does not even devote 1 chapter to explain CDC which is such a crucial part of J2ME. Instead the author wastes space and piles on chapters by explaining JDBC and web services.
Buy this book if you want to learn only MIDP, else this one is not for you.

You have to be REALLY desperate for a J2ME book to think that this will end all your J2ME problems!
I have read this book thru and thru, and I had found it useful for the ultimate beginnner style of J2ME,but I could've pulled this info from the web. Often while reading it, I did have to consult the web a number of times, and still got a bunch of dead ends-
This book was not ALL bad, but the other reviews mention a embedded database usage that is out of date. No kiddin there! I was shocked to think that this was only as far as the technology had come, there had to be a better light!
If you want the ultimate intro guide to J2ME programming, and a lite to minimal amount of practice with few technologies that even in service anymore, anchors away! But again if you think that you need something more than a bouncing ball on the screen and out of date embed-able programs then head on to deeper waters.
Hope this helps

Skip the first 50 pages, they have just about nothing to do with the rest of the book. I want to know about J2ME, not about satallites orbiting the earth.
There were several small errors throughout, source code missing things here and there. But as I got deeper into the book I didn't know enough about the language to correct the errors. That's what I purchased the book for.
Instead I went to Osborne's website where they have the source code for the book (with errors intact) but otherwise don't acknowledge that the book exists. It would have been nice to have an "updates" section where a couple of the errors were corrected. At least run the source code before you put it in the book. I'm pretty disappointed.
