Learn how to utilize and combine today's most important Java wireless technologies

Whether you are a seasoned wireless device programmer looking to extend your applications to the enterprise or an enterprise programmer planning to make your applications available anywhere and anytime using wireless devices, this book is for you.

Written by bestselling author Dan Harkey, with Shan Appajodu and Mike Larkin, this comprehensive book:
* Describes a broad architecture for integrating wireless devices into enterprise applications
* Surveys technologies for handheld devices that act as clients for enterprise applications-including handheld device features, wireless networking standards (1G to 4G), service technologies, middleware, content formats, and Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)
* Gives in-depth programming tutorials for developing client applications using the Wireless Markup Language (WML), J2ME's Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), VoiceXML, Java Card, and Bluetooth
* Describes the role enterprise technologies play for supporting wireless device applications-including using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) as a platform for developing the transcoding and personalization infrastructure for wireless devices and as a platform for writing applications
* Explores Web services (SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL) as technologies for extending and integrating applications, and XML processing as a means to connect MIDP applications to the enterprise infrastructure
* Provides an end-to-end application called the Campus Portal for Wireless Devices, which implements an architecture for supporting wireless clients and provides services for a university environment

This review is from: Wireless Java Programming for Enterprise Applications: Mobile Devices Go Corporate (Paperback)

Just got this book and have read most of it. Finally a Wireless Java book that talks about something more than J2ME! The campus portal app is a nice touch and ties all of the previous discussions together. Great fluff-free chapters on MIDP, Web Services, and VoiceXML. I also liked the underlying theme of tying everything together with J2EE.

This is the best Wireless programming book I have found. It helps enhance your Wireless skill set while leveraging your existing Java knowledge, and shows how to actually combine today's wireless technologies for real business applications. It takes a great, all-encompassing approach, and the end-to-end Campus Portal application pull everything together. This book gives you everything you need.

This review is from: Wireless Java Programming for Enterprise Applications: Mobile Devices Go Corporate (Paperback)

This book really saved me. Taking your applications wireless is a major headache, and it was driving me crazy. There is not a lot of help available out there, but in this book, I finally found good, readable information that shows how to integrate J2ME with J2EE.
