Thanks, Sue. This sounds like a good intro to J2ME, especially for a free workshop. I believe you also do more extensive courses on a contract basis for businesses, right? (http://www.switchbacksoftware.com/bootcamp.htm) For me "bootcamp" gives the impression that I'll be waking up the next morning with a sore brain and realizing it's about to start all over again ;-) I'm wondering if you or your company ever schedules and advertises a full 2-day J2ME bootcamp that anyone can sign up for. When I first got started in Palm development I'd studied and used a little Java and wondered about writing Java apps for the Palm platform. At the time it seemed like it wasn't quite there and I took the more traditional C language route. But I think that may possibly be changing now that some of the new Palms are shipping with VMs written in fast native ARM code. If you had a course on the calendar and a published price I might be interested, and suspect others in the area would as well. I was disappointed that the PDA profile for J2ME didn't quite get off the ground, but there's still the MIDP, which is pretty powerful. There will always be a lot more handsets with Java VMs than there ever will be Palm OS or Windows Mobile handset. Something to think about.
