A near perfect guide for mobile phone programming

This is a near perfect guide. Readable, with plenty of examples, it explains everything and provides almost the all required information needed to start programming for Series 40 (and Series 60) phones - assuming you only know Java.

I read this out of pure curiosity, and I must say, I learned all that I needed and much more. It taught everything from internet connectivity, automated building, testing, compiling, and security from secure minded applications to fun 2D games. It's really an amazing book that probably combines a lot of different random white papers from various different perspectives and presents in a complete, comprehensive and clear manner. The examples are informative, representative of real world applications, and are easy to follow.

I found some things to be needlessly verbose, and I wish there were better summaries of objects and inheritance between the required classes, but all in all, it easily provides the foundation needed to create, debug, and test almost any J2ME mobile phone application around. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
