Monday February 02, 2009 It's a Breeze with Java ME tech and Cascada
Cascada has released a mobile application development platform that takes HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code then translates it into a Java ME MIDlet to run on any Java ME tech-enabled cell phone. Personally, I like programming in Java ME code instead of writing HTML, JavaScript, and (gahhhh!) CSS. But, whatever floats your boat, as long as in the end we are talking Java bytecodes. Life is all just aload_0, aload_1, iload_2, invokespecial, return, when you boil it down, isn't it? See: Translate HTML/JavaScript/CSS to Java ME Here's a quote: It's designed to give anyone with basic Web programming knowledge an easy method for creating, testing and distributing mobile applications built in J2ME – the mobile version of the Java programming language – to cell phones and mobile devices anywhere in the world. There are an estimated three billion feature phones in the world that run Java mobile applications.Let's see someone try to call into an accelerometer (JSR 256), Bluetooth (JSR 82), and personal contact list info (JSR 75), with just HTML/JavaScript/CSS though... Direct Java ME programming does still have advantages... |
