Getting Started

There are a couple of ways to get started with embedded development using Java. The easiest and cheapest way to
get started is with a device you already own. This is most likely your cell phone or your PDA.

We've established a couple of short guides and resources to help you get started:

• Getting Started with Java Micro Edition - A short guide and set of resources for getting started using your cell phone and/or PDA.
• Getting Started with TINI - A short guide and set of resources for getting started using the TINI device.
