This week I decided to take a more in-depth look at mobile programming and let me tell you I love it!. It's pretty cool stuff. Even better it's quite similar to game programming. An additional bonus? Of course you can get a taste of both worlds and program a game for a mobile device. Now how cool is that?
I was able to get my hands on an older book just to check things out first before I go heading out dishing money out to buy learning/tutorial books. I found Wireless J2ME Platform Programming
It's a great book! Seriously great book!. Vartan practically walks you through each step explaining everything in great, easy-to-understand concepts. Now, he clearly states that the reader should know J2SE (Jave 2 Standard Edition) concepts. Remember this is a mobile programming book not a 'learn Java' book.
I'm having a blast going through this book. As I've mentioned it is a bit old. Published in 2002 to be exact. However, I strongly believe it's still a very great place to start! If you have Java programming experience, you should have very little difficulty following the book.
I give it 4.5/5! [I rarely give perfect scores. =) ]
