From Web Developer To Java Developer?

by Chris Ramsey
2 replies
I've been developing in the major server and client side languages for a handful of years now and like to consider myself pretty proficient in languages like:
  • Php
  • Asp
  • Javascript
  • Html/Css
  • Actionscript

I just recently got a Samsung Instinct and would love to work on a few apps for it.

Apps for the Instinct run on Java, and I'd like to start learning that language so I can build some for my own use.

Where would you recommend I start? Any books or sites would be great.

Thanks!

    I don't know this for sure because I'm not that familiar with the Instinct... but I would GUESS that you'd develop JavaME apps... I doubt that it runs straight Java.

    I'm a Java developer, and I cut my teeth on the Wrox series of books. Also, the Head Start books are good too.

    Otherwise, you learn to live in the Java Docs.
    Java 2 Platform SE 5.0

    The Java Docs are similar to PHP.net... you'd be familiar with that if you are a PHP developer.

    I sure am familiar with them. I'm always on that site.

    I ordered "Beginning Java ME Platform" from amazon tonight after finding out that the Instinct runs off Java ME.

    Most mobiles run off (what I gather is) a previous version, J2ME, but I want to develop specifically for the Instinct, so Java ME is what I'm looking for.

    Thanks!
