This book is for both consumer and enterprise developers and focuses on how to build applications that leverage the power and flexibility of the BlackBerry application platform--whether you’re developering building web-based applications or native (rich client) applications for the device.

It provides an overview of the back-end server components that simplify and optimize communication with back-end data sources and also highlights tactics developers can use to make the best use of the device processing capabilities, device memory, network connectivity and battery life.
