Nokia Provides Series 40 Developers with the First Official
End-to-End Solutions Guide
Nokia has just announced publication of the second book in its Nokia
Mobile Developer Series, "Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications,"
which provides a thorough examination of Nokia's Developer Platform for
Series 40 devices. The book is written primarily for Java Platform developers
and includes server code examples for complete end-to-end development.
Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications is the second book in the series
of practical, in-depth guides in the Nokia Mobile Developer Series from
Forum Nokia. Written by Michael Juntao Yuan and Kevin Sharp, two expert
mobile technology writers, and published by Addison Wesley, the book is
the first official end-to-end solutions guide for Nokia Series 40 developers.
It focuses on application development guidelines, tools and best practices
using the Series 40 platform.
"With Series 40 devices constituting a large majority of the more
than 100 million developer platform devices shipped annually, developers
seeking access to the enormous global platform represented by Series 40
and the Java Platform will now be assisted by centralized, documented
information published in this practical, in-depth book," said Lee
Epting, Vice President of Forum Nokia.
"Knowledge of the Series 40 developer platform can be applied to
the Java environment on all Nokia developer platform devices and is therefore
crucial to developers' achieving success in the commercial market,"
Epting said.
Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications covers the entire Series 40
platform development process - from design and coding through testing
and deployment - and includes eleven complete example applications including
downloadable client and server source code for kick-starting projects.
The book also explores the technical underpinnings of Series 40, a Developer
Platform that delivers color displays, Java(TM) programmability, and multimedia
messaging to the mass market. It includes a review of crucial architectural
issues, introduction of key mobile design patterns, discussion of scalability,
device optimization strategies and many never-before published best practices
and tips for Series 40 platform developers.
Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications is available around the world
in bookstores and through online retailers, as well as directly from the
publisher
