J2ME?

[PHP2]

I am new in the Java world.. I am C/C++ programmer..

If I wish develop J2ME for mobile phones, must I learn Java from scratch or
enough is J2ME part only..

Hi,
In the first place u should be knowing Object oriented programming
structure (oops). after which u should understand the basics of JAVA
hows it is working and stuff. Ofcourse dont go for applets and frames
and J2EE gaint stuff.... u might not need them.

then take a J2ME book and u can learn many things. But u might need
java at many instances. dont hesitate to refer back...

good luck,
Regards,
Rajesh Rapaka.

I wouldn't say you need to learn it from scratch. If you are a C/C++
programmer I would guess you understand OO programming. I recently
just started J2ME programming and was able to pick it up rather quick
having experience with C/C++, FoxPro, VB6 and VB.Net. I would say of
all those though, Java is closest to C++ only a lot easier. This was a
website that really helped me
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/ui/. It
shows examples of most of the gui stuff available for J2ME. Take a
look at the code and if you are able to follow it pretty well you
shouldn't have a problem.

You should learn at least as much as you need to write your application.
It's necessary to understand the language syntax, and the APIs are a mix
of some APIs from desktop Java and some that are specific to mobile
programming.
