Core J2ME Technology and MIDP

Some of the examples included are:
- Creating a clipboard to share data among components

- Searching and sorting with persistent storage
- Creating animations
- Translating coordinates and clipping rectangles
- Designing and developing a Todo List application

There is an enhanced version of the Table of Contents (which highlights all examples and sidebar notes) available at the J2ME Developer Site Core J2ME

Hi ! John. Hope you still remembers me. I was anxiously waiting from the day you have made the announcement in the forum.
Many congratulations for completing the book. your absence in the forum was definitely bad experience. But , finally your book is complete , which will be helpful to many j2me lovers.
Great job. Once Again many congratulations.
Shailesh.

Shailesh, I do remember your interest early on. Thank you for your kind words and not forgetting about me (smile)
Although it has been nearly a year since I started the book, I do believe it was time well spent. My intention was to write a book that would cover all the bases from installation to complete coverage of the API, in detail. It was also important to time the book with the most current release of J2ME/MIDP.
The feedback I have received, up to this point, has been very positive. I hope you enjoy the book.
Thanks again!
