Are you a Java programmer looking for a new challenge and money-making opportunity? If so, Beginning Black Berry Development may just be the book for you. This book will teach you everything you need to know to start developing apps that run on the Black Berry family of devices and smartphones. With over 50 million Black Berry devices sold and the launch of the new Black Berry App World, there has never been a more exciting time to get into Black Berry application development.
Assuming only some programming background in Java or a similar language, this book starts with the basics, offering step-by-step tutorials that take you through downloading and installing the Black Berry development environment, creating your first apps, and exploring the Black Berry APIs.
You’ll learn how to use the Black Berry user interface components to create the look and feel you want; how to use networking to create applications that can talk to servers anywhere on the internet; how to manage application lifecycle and data storage; and how to use the GPS and mapping functionality included on many devices to create location-aware applications.
You’ll also learn about the different ways you can package and distribute your apps, from deploying apps on your own website to listing your apps for sale on Black Berry App World.
