Bluetooth for Java is not an overview of Bluetooth. In the book, Bruce Hopkins and Ranjith Antony describe how to develop wireless Java applications using Bluetooth for a variety of platforms. This includes an API overview of the Java library, development of Bluetooth-based services, highlights of security concerns, and walkthroughs for development with some of the different tools available. Programs will not be just J2ME (micro devices) based, but will also be for J2SE (client/desktop).

Although Java is incredibly popular, the standard edition of Java is way too big and way too bulky to build applications for wireless devices such as the PDAs and phones. Thus Sun has released "Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition" (J2ME). J2ME has the potential to be as revolutionary in the wireless space as Java has been in the server space.

Wireless Java: Developing with J2ME, Second Edition will be updated to include coverage of the next version of programs for mobile Java devices. The second edition will cover MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1, and the new information will be distinguishable so readers can still reference the book for MIDP 1.0/CLDC 1.0.

There is a desperate need in literature for a book that shows how to combine the latest wireless Java technologies to build real business applications that can run on mobile devices, PCs, and servers. Only a handful of people know how to actually build these kinds of applications, and Wiley has found an experienced Java programmer to write this unique book and fill that gap in literature. Dan Harkey and his team of authors go beyond providing an overview, and demonstrate how to build and deliver Java enterprise applications that run on handheld devices that are connected to server applications that run as part of a J2EE implementation.

Is Java secure? That depends, says Scott Oaks: What are you going to use it for? Fortunately, Oaks doesn't stop there: His latest book presents a systematic, realistic tour of Java security, showing how it's evolved to include options never included in the original Java sandbox (such as support for digital signatures and external auditing security managers). Oaks focuses on what programmers need to know to implement security (with plenty of code samples). Java Security, Second Edition covers virtually every Java security-related feature and architectural issue developers will encounter in building secure applications.
