The Developing Mobile Applications on the J2ME[tm] Platform Using Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the Mobile Information Device (MID) Profile course provides students with Java[tm] technology skills to write mobile, cross-device applications for the Java[tm] 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME). Through practical exercises, this course demonstrates how to use recommended practices to develop MIDlet applications that run locally or over a wireless network. The significant lab time illustrates the workshop nature of this course.

4	Java technology developers wanting to develop mobile applications for the MID Profile
4	Solution designers who map mobile business requirements to Java technology solutions
4	Java technology developers interested in migrating their existing code to the MID Profile

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:
4	Be able to create applications using the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) platform
4	Have passed the Sun Java 2 Programmers Certification Exam or have more than two years Java development experience
4	Hopefully have located a copy of the CLDC and MID Profile specifications from the Sun web site, and perused Requests for Comments (RFCs) 2616 and 2617

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
4	Identify key concepts of mobile technology and the J2ME platform
4	Define, write and test applications for wireless devices using the CLDC and MID Profile
4	Use recommended practices for mobile application development
4	Understand the future direction of the J2ME environment
