This review is from: J2ME Enterprise Development (Paperback)

Reading this book helped me understand do's and dont's of J2ME based applications. Very clear explanation of how to develop J2ME based enterprise applications. MSales sample application was the first end-to-end working program I have seen in Mobile Java related books, as a matter of fact anywhere. I would recommend this book to all the Java developers as a must read.

J2ME is such a volatile technology [still in its infancy]. Hopefully there will be a next edition of this book.
