I want to learn J2ME, where to start with?

Question

I am interested in making mobile oriented applications. I have a basic knowledge of core Java. How do I get started with J2ME?

Answer 1

1. Download Netbeans (best IDE for Java ME development IMHO)
2. Read SUN's tutorials on the subject.

Do keep in mind that in order to do proper Java ME development you need:

• Windows based workstation (neither Mac OS nor Linux work because SUN's wireless toolkit doesn't work on those platforms)
• Java language knowledge. (if you don't know Java, go learn Java first)
• A fast workstation (Netbeans and Mobile Phone emulators can be really slow on older machines)

Answer 2

This book will help.
