Preface

This tutorial creates two applications that conform to the architecture of the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME platform). The applications are also compliant with the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) standards. One of these applications demonstrate how client/server applications can be created using the J2ME Wireless Connection Wizard. By working through tasks that create, develop, and deploy these J2ME compliant applications, you will learn the major features of the Sun Java Studio Mobility 6 software.
