ColdFusion MX Professional Projects

Overview

As I discussed in Chapter 1, one of the reasons you might be interested in MIDP as a platform is that it's based on the Java programming language and the Java APIs. You'll also recall that MIDP is built on top of the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). The CLDC contains most of the APIs that will look familiar to experienced Java programmers.

In this chapter, we'll explore the java.lang, java.io, and java.util packages as defined in the CLDC and MIDP. I'll assume you're already familiar with the basic APIs of J2SE; we'll walk through what's the same and what's different.
