In this free tutorial, John Muchow, author of the bestseller "Core J2ME Technology and MIDP," teaches you how to create and work with MIDlets, the applications designed to run on wireless Java-enabled devices. After Nokia's announcement, estimating that in 2002 it will sell over 50 million J2ME-enabled mobile phones, there has been a flood of interest in software development revolving around J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition). This tutorial provides a step-by-step introduction to downloading, installing, and configuring your computer to begin development of applications for this runtime environment.
