Hello,

I just finished my recent project in C that's why I have free time to study for a while. I would like to try J2Me since there are lot's of company who develop software applications for cellphone. I have no idea about J2Me yet but I have a brief background in J2SE but that was a long time ago. So I'm asking for your help to give me tips about IDE, compiler and great tutorials that will help me to learn J2Me.

Thanks guys,

Hi Romcab!

 I don't know much about J2ME/JME myself. I only got as far as accessing the phonebook and getting all the contact info/numbers and creating high-level GUI. We can't program exactly the way we program desktop applications in J2ME, ther are several restrictions like how efficiently you handle Strings and floating-point operations. Please allow me to cite some of the resources I have found useful during my study.

You may want to start with Sun Java Wireless Toolkit first. Then, once you're comfortable with how to compile and the structure of a MIDlet jar, try Netbeans IDE and download the Mobility Pack.

If you're into gaming, there's a free e-book written by Jason Lam that you can download here.

HTH! 

I made a reply here before. Why does it have to be moderated? 

Tnx Lamia,

It will be a big help...I will check all the links you gave and try to experiment. 

Tnx again pal,
