Committed to supporting Java(TM) technology
developers in the burgeoning wireless application market, Sun Microsystems,
Inc. today highlights its new Wireless Developer Portal,
WIRELESS.JAVA.SUN.COM. Exemplary of the Sun Developer Connection(SM)
program's commitment to the developer community, the new site is the
authoritative, central resource dedicated to helping Java technology
developers successfully develop, deploy and make money from wireless Java
applications.
As businesses increasingly turn to Java technology as their platform of
choice for delivering Web services, WIRELESS.JAVA.SUN.COM will help developers
meet this demand with the tools, resources and community support needed to
develop compelling, innovative applications for mobile computing. Created by
the leaders in authoritative Java developer support, the Java Developer
Connection(SM), this new resource supports the individual developer's efforts
by providing them with a means to learn, solve problems, grow technically and
connect with opportunities in the wireless market.
"WIRELESS.JAVA.SUN.COM will quickly become the home of the wireless
developer because it goes beyond technical content to provide strategies and
resources developers need to navigate the wireless ecosystem -- from
development to provisioning to billing," said Paul Pangaro, senior director of
Developer Web Services of Sun Microsystems. "This site will be a boon to
millions of Java developers because they will now be able to get great
wireless Java technology support from their most trusted source, the Java
Developer Connection."
As the first standards-based wireless resource with end-to-end Java
solutions, WIRELESS.JAVA.SUN.COM offers an easy way for developers to get
started on Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME (TM)) standards and tools.
Some of the site's resources include:

-- "Tutorials, case studies and reports to learn from scratch or build on
existing knowledge base"
-- "Forums to get quick answers to practically any type of programming
problem"
-- "Code Drop for sharing code among peers"
-- "Bug Database to learn the status of bugs and workarounds"
-- "RSS compatibility providing access to the News and Highlights page
from any wireless device."
