Rating: Summary: Sample code examples tough to use Review: A good introduction to j2me, but the links to download the code samples don't work, they go to an under construction apge, and no one will reply to emails to say when they will be available.
Rating: Summary: It's a poorly written book. Review: Finally I learn this hard lesson: One who knows something DOES NOT necessarily know how to teach it.I was attracted by the impressive background of the author, and it's part of SUN's Java series. But I am stunned by the poor quality of the book as a teach-yourself material. Come on, Mr. Piroumian, of course you know this is a book for Java learners, not a RFC, or API specification. But it reads like the latter. I got my Java Programmer Certificate two years ago and consider myself an experienced Java programmer. But, I couldn't follow the book. It's that a hard and boring read. Those examples are dry, non-intuitive and useless in real world. After finishing the book, I still don't know how to do some quite simple tasks. Very disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Average Review: I didn't find this book very helpful. What it refers to as "advanced topics" such as persistent storage and networking are basic concepts that aren't explained very clearly. Seems put together too quickly with only average coverage of j2me.
Rating: Summary: I in love with this author Review: I found the book to be a good book on J2ME. I met the author while working for a big company. I thought he was a great person and a good looking man. I found the book to be an excellent book on not just J2ME, but a great introduction to the world of wireless communication
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Tutorial on Wireless J2ME Review: I found this book to be an excellent introduction to J2ME wireless development. The author's clear and consise writing style gets the reader up to speed almost immediately with a minimal degree of effort. The fine examples and graphical illustrations couples nicely with the text. I especially found the chapter on Internationalization particularly useful. This is a good book for the beginning wireless developer.

Rating: Summary: It's a good book! Review: I really loved the organization of the book, and the logical flow of ideas. And the book seems to cover some topics that I couldn't find in other J2ME books such as application provisioning and system architecture. The chapter on internationalization is fantastic.
Rating: Summary: I recommend the book! Review: I think this author really is an expert and knows this area well. It's obvious he's really worked in real-world wireless stuff.
Rating: Summary: It's a good book! Review: One thing is certain. This author can write! His explanations are lucid and organized. And his writing style is so easy to follow. Like he says, his examples demonstrate the concepts that he presents in the chapters. I really feel that I now understand HOW to use J2ME the RIGHT WAY. I like this book better than any of the others that I bought. It's obvious that this author knows this space well. If you're getting a J2ME book, get this one!
