If you are a developer and interested in mobilizing applications or if your organization is looking to mobilize applications on the BlackBerry platform keep your eyes open for "BlackBerry Development Fundementals" by John Wargo
to be published in November.
The book is still a work in progress available via Safari Books Online Rough Cuts: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321647610
RIM already do a fairly good job providing sample code for developers wanting to learn the various pillars of BB programming, the Java Application, Browser based apps and the soon to be no more MDS. However what John's book will, I hope, give you over and above RIM's free resources is the benefit of someone who has been down that road before you and can give you the right amount of background, best practice, and code samples all in one place to get you started.
I'm a bit of a lapsed BlackBerry developer of late owning an iPod touch hasn't helped me maintain an interest in RIM's platform but I have a couple of ideas for applications that colleagues might benefit from. I suspect John's book might be as useful to me as I get started again as it might to you if you are developing for the first time.
As far as I know the book is back-end agnostic favoring neither Domino or Exchange but that shouldn't discourage you if you are coming at BB development as a Domino developer. You'll already know how to make data available via Views, Agents and Web Services or Web pages. Fundementals should be able to give you the tools to present that information to your colleagues on the road.
I'm looking forward to reading this book and doing a little BlackBerry development again. If you've already bought this book from Rough Cuts I'd be interested in what you think of it. I'll tell you what I think when I've had a chance to read the whole thing.
Anyone interested in the idea of a BlackBerry and Domino Cookbook?
