Book Description

Pro Java ME Apps gives you, the developer, the know-how required for writing sophisticated Java ME applications and for taking advantage of this huge potential market. Java ME is the largest mobile software platform in the world, supported by over 80% of all phones. You'll cover what Java ME is and how it compares to other mobile software platforms, how to properly design and structure Java ME applications, how to think like an experienced Java ME developer, what common problems and pitfalls you may run into, how to optimize your code, and many other key topics. Unlike other Java ME books out there, which only teach the reader the basics of Java ME by way of a few simple examples, this book presents a broader, eagle-eye picture of a complete Java ME application and what writing one involves. From there, the book presents, explains, and helps you to implement all the essential aspects of Java ME development, from the user interface to client-server communication. As this unfolds, the decisions and reasoning behind the code are also presented. The book assumes that the reader is already familiar with Java ME and Java applications in general. Based on and geared towards real-life Java ME scenarios Guides the reader through the entire process of developing a high-quality Java ME application Explains the decisions made at each step, gives advice and examples of good practices vs. bad practices

Book Description

Do you want to build a location based mobile application? Do you read technical books and feel that they left some parts out? Do you want to get into mobile programming with "real world" examples? If you answered yes to one of these questions this book might be for you! The goal of this book is to teach via familiarity. Since the Uber application is well designed and familiar we chose it as the target but the book isn't meant as a "copy Uber" cookbook. Many applications are built around ideas similar to Uber and utilize designs inspired by Uber. It's our assumption that you can learn a lot by understanding how to build something "like" Uber. We break down a real world application from client to the server. This fills in all the pieces, that typical tech books skim over. This book covers: iOS/Android development with Codename One Spring Boot server development on top of MySQL WebSockets, WebServices and push notification as the communication layer Creating a sublime UI to match professional designs Map based user interface User authorization via SMS/Social Networks Best practices, security and pitfalls of mobile development The book requires basic knowledge of Java but doesn't require prior knowledge of Codename One, Spring Boot or MySQL. Notice that this book is "code heavy", it contains many listings as it implements a full stack mobile app. Uber (TM) is a trademark of Uber Technologies Inc. This work is intended strictly for educational purposes. We don't condone the misuse of Uber IP! About the Author: Shai's professional software development career started more than 25 years ago. He worked for/with countless companies including Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Samsung, Nokia as well as banks, insurance companies etc. Shai was a team member on the original Wireless Toolkit from Sun Microsystems. It was the most popular cross platform mobile development tool at the time, and revolutionized the field. Together with Chen Fishbein they created LWUIT which became the most successful mobile open source project from Sun Microsystems and the basis for Codename One. Shai is a Java One rockstar who shared the stage with the likes of James Gosling. As a highly rated speaker he was featured in multiple conferences such as JavaZone, codemotion, dev days etc. He blogs at Codename One as well as Hackernoon, JavaCodeGeeks and dzone (MVB).
