Title: Excellent but not a programming HOWTO exacly
Review: In short, this an excellent J2ME reference book, but not very good for average programmers. You will be disappointed if you are looking for a run-of-the-mill programmer's recipe book. This is not a software development oriented book.Look for it only if you need accurate J2ME reference or if you are intested in an overview which goes into detail for implementation aspects, that is, if you need to understand theunderlying support of CLDC/MIDP by a device. This means the average programmer will be disappointed but a software architect will find it quite useful. Make sure you buy the 2nd edition.The book is written by people who are actually involved in drafting the J2ME specifications.The text closely follows the CLDC and MIDP 2.0 specifications in every aspect. It can be defined as a summary of the MIDP and CLDC specifications.By the way other APIs such as CDC, WMA, File API, etc, are not covered by the book.
