BlackBerry Programming 101: New Article on EZineArticles
I’ve published a new article titled BlackBerry Programming 101: How to Get Started With BlackBerry Software Development on the EzineArticles site. Just a basic description of what you need to learn (Java, J2ME, BlackBerry) in order to develop your own BlackBerry software applications.
Note that EZineArticle policies prevented me from placing too many links in the article, which meant I could only link to the first of the following articles and not to the entire series of articles:
- What Is Java ME?
- Java ME Core Concepts
- Understanding the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC)
- Understanding the Connected Device Configuration (CDC)
- The Importance of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
As mentioned in the article, it’s a good idea to get a firm understanding of what Java ME (formerly J2ME) is all about as it ultimately determines what you can and can’t do on the BlackBerry, even if you’re using the BlackBerry-specific API extensions that RIM provides.
A more detailed introduction to BlackBerry programming was found on the MobilizedSoftware.com site, but that site no longer exists. I may try to resurrect the article or (more likely) rewrite it entirely.
