Developing Wireless Applications using Java
The Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) and standard XML-based markup languages enable developers to build thin client interfaces for this vast space of ubiquitous networked consumer and embedded devices, from smart cards, PDAs, and mobile phones, to digital TV set-top boxes and automobile entertainment and navigation systems.
Come learn more about the underlying technologies and the various profiles that are taking shape within the J2ME platform. This presentation will focus on Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) technologies for mobile phones and other devices with wireless connections. We will give you an under-the-hood view (including status and roadmap) of J2ME technologies including CLDC and MIDP APIs as well as J2ME development tools. We will also present in detail the latest enhancement to MIDP, MIDP 2.0, which represents a major update to this wildly successful standard. You will also hear about some of the new and exciting major initiatives that are happening in the J2ME Space.
We will also discuss technologies used to connect mobile devices
to consumer and enterprise services, including standard data formats (WML,
Compact HTML and XHTML/XML) and protocols (most importantly, HTTP/HTTPS
and WAP protocols).
