Customer Reviews

Its not bad...
This is a good touchy-feely introduction to the subject. Its focus is slightly narrow and and naturally its slightly dated by now and (possibly endemic in the series) it does suffer from excessive padding.

It will however get you started writing MIDlets very quickly indeed, which is what you want it for. Don't expect to have to set aside an entire month to cover the subject matter though...
