sible. Good luck, and have fun!

lar phones in the world? This book shows you how to write top-notch,

professional applications for the BlackBerry platform. In my career developing

mobile software I’ve found that vital information is often buried deep inside

multiple API documents, whitepapers, message boards, sample code, and the

heads of engineers who have fought against problems until they were solved.

Unless you’re lucky enough to work with a bright and friendly person who is

an expert with a lot of spare time on their hands, it’s diicult to get a compre-

hensive view of how everything hangs together. I enjoy writing BlackBerry

software, and have battled many of the issues that can trip up developers, so I

wrote this book to help others get over those hurdles. Building software is fun;

dealing with a phone’s foibles is not.
