A Developer's-Eye
View Inside the BREW Percolator A front-line soldier in the BREW
development trenches, RocketMobile's Shane Conder, tells the inside-out
story about what the environment is really like and how best to utilize it
for fun and profit—mostly profit by Chris Preimesberger Okay, so maybe
you've heard of QUALCOMM's BREW, and mostly what you know is that it's not
something you drink. Get a sip of this, however: BREW—a.k.a. the Binary
Runtime Environment for Wireless, is the foundation for data services in
an impressive (and increasing) number of wireless phones. BREW is being
deployed nationally in the U.S. by Verizon Wireless on its Z800 handset
and on the Kyocera 3035.
Intro: Getting Started
with BREW Developer Murray Bonner gets you up to speed quickly with a
big-picture developer-oriented overview of the BREW system, its business
model, and the tools you'll need to start producing BREW apps. You'll hear
about the market potential ( how many customers do BREW operators have?),
and take a look at a few BREW-enabled phones. He'll give you an idea of
the development tool costs, then a look at each tool in the SDK and, along
the way, give you several simple tech tips that could save you hours of
work. (First in a series)
Can You Build One Set
of BREW User Interfaces for All Targeted Devices? Ideally, a single
set of user interface (UI) code would work on every BREW device,
regardless of screen size or BREW version. Can this ideal be realized by a
single, catch-all approach to BREW UI design? If so, what's the best way
to do it? Murray Bonner reveals all.
How to Perform
Geo-Location on BREW-based Phones GPS isn't widely available in the US
yet, but you can familiarize yourself with the programming possibilities
now, thanks to the GPS emulation features built into the BREW SDK. So
let's build a little mapping application, shall we?
Low-Level Management
of Multi-Control Screens Under BREW In this tutorial you'll add power
and flexibility to your BREW apps by learning how to code your own
low-level navigation for a collection of BREW controls on a single screen
of a device.
How to Create BREW Apps
Using Visual Studio .NET (PDF) You can develop BREW applications using
either Visual Studio 6.0 or .NET, regardless of the version of BREW or the
BREW SDK™ you prefer... |

Java code Can Java code be enhanced by good BREW in wireless
development? Recently IBM introduced a single JVM (Java Virtual Machine),
which acts as an extension to BREW. Java developers can take advantage of
this JVM to write Java applications once and run them on all BREW-enabled
devices as long as they have sufficient memory footprints, regardless of
manufacturer. The BREW platform is standardized, so porting applications
from one device to another is simplified. BREW also makes getting Java
applications onto handsets much easier, and enables upgrading and
recalling JVMs over the air. |

Porting
BREW Games to Java MIDP v1.0 This document assists developers who want
to port BREW games to the J2ME platform, and who want to plan the
development of BREW titles to make it easier to port them. |

J2ME
vs BREW for wireless development (7/02) Find out the similarities and
key differences between Sun's Java Micro Edition and Qualcomm's Binary
Runtime Environment for Wireless. So far, WAP has been more or less the
only standard providing basic access to Web-based services using a
microbrowser on the mobile device. However, next-generation wireless
devices, such as smart phones, raise application functionality
expectations. Two vendors, Sun and Qualcomm, are attempting to meet this
challenge by offering a new model for online access to wireless
applications. Sun Microsystems’s Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) and
Qualcomm’s Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) are two
emerging technologies that provide a new model for online access by
allowing applications to be downloaded from the Web... |
