Java has come a long way from being an interesting experiment back in 1999 to what it is today - defacto, mainstream programming platform for mobile devices. The fact that there are close to over 750 million Java enabled devices today is a direct result of this ever increasing adoption of the Java Platform as 'the' platform for mobility computing.
In this talk, you will learn all about ins-and-outs of various Java technology implementations in all the different Nokia platforms. You will learn about the Java technology composition of various technology platforms and the devices addressed in these platforms such as Series 40, Series 60, Series 80, and Series 90 platforms. In addition, you will learn about various tools and SDKs that a developer can use to build applications on these platforms.
