Advanced J2ME Development

Java took the wireless world by storm when the J2ME Platform was first introduced for mobile devices starting in 1999. The latest updates to the J2ME platform enable developers to write sophisticated wireless applications for mobile devices of today and tomorrow. This code camp will be comprised of two parts. The first part will provide a number of tips and techniques for writing better MIDP applications and how to best deploy those applications on popular J2ME devices today. This section will begin by pointing basic Java programming gotchas and workarounds for both the MIDP 1.0 and MIDP2.0 platforms. We will also discuss more advanced topics such as best practices in handling threads, memory management. We will also address some very specific MIDP2.0 programming practices which will cover issues such as Programming practices for untrusted applications, handling security exceptions, recommendations for handling the Auto launch functionality, working with multimedia resources, and double buffering. Code sample will be provided throughout the codecamp to illustrate key points. The second part will comprise of detailed information on writing 3D Graphics applications using the new JSR-184, 3D Graphics API for J2ME and JSR-82 which specifies Java APIs for programming Bluetooth. Experience in both J2ME in general and MIDP2.0 in particular is assumed.
