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.

One of the things I wanted to include in the book but ended up not having room for was a chapter that covered how to build a BlackBerry Web Services client in Java. I ended up writing a series of articles on the topic at www.johnwargo.com. The articles cover building a web service in Domino, generating the Java stub used to talk to the service then building the Java application that allows the web service to be consumed on the BlackBerry. Here are links to the articles:

 

You don't have to be a Domino developer to make use of these articles - just skip Part 1 if you don't care about the Domino aspect of the project.
