BlackBerry Development Fundamentals

What people have said about the book:

I have been thinking a lot about what you said about the book not being a "learning Java" book and I think (for me at least) that will be perfect. The Java part, aside from the nuances, is pretty much like C#, etc.... Throw in the RIM API and it's not a huge deal to learn. However, learning it completely and properly obviously will take some time. The stuff you mention, MDS etc..., will be the very topics I will need for sure come time for the release of your book.
