Object-Oriented Programming
Product Description
Object-Oriented Programming: From Problem Solving to Java provides a thorough, easy-to-follow reference to master object-oriented programming principles. Throughout the text, problem solving and programming techniques are presented in modeling diagrams, pseudo-code, and flowcharts. Users then learn how to put theory into practice using actual Java code. Unlike “cookbook” guides where users blindly follow the instructions this book encourages users to explore their problem solving creativity, and then test their ideas in a real-world environment. By first learning the concepts involved in object-oriented programming, and then learning how to put them into use, readers not only learn Java, but they also learn how to become more efficient programmers.
· Encourages users to find creative, practical solutions to programming problems, and allows them to test their ideas with object-oriented programming
· Uses pseudocode to describe a problem’s solution; then uses Java as the implementation language
· Organized to follow introductory courses in programming principles; exercise sets and “key terms” are included to reinforce concepts
· Provides a gentle learning curve to those with little or no programming experience, taking novice users to a higher level of proficiency
· Includes a CD-ROM with all the source code for the projects in the book, with additional programs and case studies at the companion Web site

Wireless Java Programming with J2ME
Product Description
Wireless Java Programming with J2ME provides Java developers with the information, techniques, and examples needed to use Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) to create applications for Java-enabled wireless devices
Wireless Java Programming with J2ME presents fully-developed examples of J2ME applications designed for wireless devices. By building examples based on Sun’s CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration) API and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), readers will become familiar with the standard practices for J2ME programming for wireless devices. This hands-on guide to wireless J2ME programming is loaded with practical sample programs that can be applied in real world development.
Wireless Java Programming with Java 2 Micro Edition is being written by Yu Feng, the first-prize winner of Motorola’s Wireless Application contest. MotoShop, the winning m-commerce application, takes advantage of J2ME incorporates both innovative interface design and location-based service features. The authors’ in-depth knowledge and commercial interest in this technology truly separates this book from other Java books on the market.
Wireless Java Programming with Java 2 Micro Edition assumes readers are motivated to build the next generation wireless application by leveraging the J2ME technology. The book provides commercial-quality code and examples.Amazon.com Review
Perfect for the experienced Java programmer making the transition to wireless development, Wireless Java Programming with J2ME delivers a capable tutorial to what’s new and different on smaller Java devices. This title is all you need to get started writing wireless applications successfully.
This book provides a nicely packaged tutorial for wireless development, beginning with a tour of the acronym-laden world of Java wireless devices based on the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). You’ll learn about the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which this text centers on, plus the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). Clearly, this is a market in flux, and the authors do a good job of describing the kinds of J2ME devices available today. They also explain what’s different about J2ME development when compared to traditional Java 2 programming.
After this introduction, the book delves into the APIs you’ll need to master to use J2ME. The authors create a number of “MIDlets” for wireless devices (such as a PIM and eventually a front end for an online bookstore). They cover the new APIs that are used to program such devices. This includes the higher-level UI library for MIDP devices, which lets developers design for the restricted displays of these devices. They also cover lower-level graphics, which calls for a more do-it-yourself approach to UI design. Illustrated with a calendar utility, they show you how to draw on the screen of a wireless device.
Later sections look at other features that you need to create robust wireless applications in Java, including network connectivity options (like sockets and HTTP), plus storing records in the built-in storage APIs that come built-in on the platform. The book also covers the surprising variety of XML tools that let you add XML support to wireless applications. The centerpiece of this text is the authors’ MotoShop–a case study for a wireless front end for an online bookstore, which is used to demonstrate many of the techniques covered earlier in the text. Final sections on SyncML (for synchronizing data between wireless devices) and new support for Java on the popular DoCoMo i-Mode platform help round out this book.
With the wireless marketplace poised for explosive growth, this title can let Java developers get ready for a new kind of Java platform. This book delivers a very solid tour of what an intermediate to advanced programmer needs to get started building the next generation of wireless software in Java. –Richard Dragan
