The Nokia Series 40 book

"The first official end-to-end solutions guide for every Nokia Series 40 developer

NokiaÕs Series 40 platform gives Java developers access to the worldÕs highest-volume, fastest-growing, and most exciting mobile markets. With close to 100 million units sold every year, the Series 40 devices are crucial for the commercial success for any mobile application. However, due to the physical constraints of the mass-market devices, it requires deep knowledge of the platform and advanced programming skills to develop effective Series 40 applications. Knowledge of the Series 40 platform can be applied to the Java environment on all Nokia devices including the Series 60 smartphones, Series 80 enterprise communicators and Series 90 rich media devices. To reduce duplicated development costs, it is also important to write scalable applications so that we can easily optimize them across different devices within and beyond the Series 40 platform. Now, there's an official developer's guide that can help you build high-performance and scalable Series 40 applications for both MIDP 1.0 and 2.0 devices.

Fully reviewed by NokiaÕs subject matter experts, this book covers the entire development processÑfrom design and coding through testing and deployment. The authors walk you through 11 complete example applications, presenting downloadable client and server source code you can use to jumpstart virtually any project. Along the way, they illuminate Series 40Õs technical underpinnings, review crucial architectural issues, introduce key mobile design patterns, discuss scalability and device optimization strategies and offer dozens of best practices and tipsÑmany never before published.
