Covering topics such as software design for small devices, networking, user intefaces, data storage on Palm and Pocket PC devices, synchronization and integration in web services, this text provides real-world projects and copious examples.

With the release of Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), Sun Microsystems opened Java to the rapidly expanding Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) market. This comprehensive tutorial and reference provides an in-depth look at developing PDA software with J2ME and PersonalJava, covering both Palm and PocketPC devices. Succinct and practical, JavaaA A Development on PDAs focuses on real-world programming tasks with extensive code examples and an end-to-end PDA application demonstrating techniques for integrating devices with the enterprise via Web services. This book describes the J2ME platform and PersonalJava and discusses design issues specific to resource-constrained devices. It also provides in-depth coverage of networking and Internet access, the user interface, data storage, and integrating PDAs into the corporation.You will learn to develop Java applications for PocketPC and Palm devices through in-depth coverage of: *J2ME configurations *CLDC and CDC profiles *Selecting a PDA for development *PDA development tools *Designing for constrained computational capability *Designing for constrained screen and memory size *PDA user interfaces *Storing information on the devices *The Generic Connection Framework *Internet access from a Java PDA application via a GSM phone and Bluetooth *Accessing Web services from Palm and PocketPC devices JavaaA A Development on PDAs concludes with a look into the future of PDA technology and the expanding role of these devices in the enterprise.
Written for anyone with a basic knowledge of Java, this important resource is a must-have for all those interested in the Palm OS and PocketPC markets. 0201719541B05292003

Daryl Wilding-McBride is a solution architect and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Practice Leader at Object Consulting, where he works on EAI and Java-based architectures for large enterprises. He is a Sun-certified Java developer who has been developing PDA applications in Java since the first release of the K Virtual Machine (KVM) on Palm OS. His special area of interest is integrating PDAs and ubiquitous devices into existing IT infrastructures, thus mobilizing the enterprise. He holds a bachelor's degree in electronics engineering from RMIT University and a master's degree in engineering from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
