Intended learning outcomes

The course aims at giving knowledge about programming of mobile services with J2ME and providers SDK.

The course consists of two parts, a theoretical part and an applied part:
- In the theoretical part knowledge is given about what possibilities exist regarding development of future mobile services.
In the applied part applications are developed using providers’ SDK for J2ME.

After completing the course the participant should:

  • Be able to configure a proper environment for development
  • Be able to explain the differences between J2ME and J2SE
  • Be able to write a MIDlet application and describe its lifecycle
  • Be able to use forms and canvas in order to present data
  • Be able to use Bluetooth or other network technology in order to communicate
  • Be able to use and store persistent data and PIM
  • Be able to understand the possibilities and limitations when developing applications
  • Be able to explain the construction and the usefulness of XML based protocols like WAP, MMS, and RSS

For higher grades in the course the participant should:

  • Be able to reflect over the future development of Java Micro Edition
  • Be able to use game canvas in an optimized way
  • Be able to review and evaluate mobile services regarding performance and security
