"Wanted: Programmers for Handheld Devices"
Computer (05/01) Vol. 34, No. 5, P. 12; Kiely, Don
With handheld shipments projected to grow from 20 million this year to 62 million in 2004,
according to International Data, handheld vendors face a rapidly increasing need for
programmers who can develop applications for these devices. However, few traditional
programmers have much experience with programming applications for devices that are as
small and that use as little power as the current class of handhelds. For example,
PCs often have as much as 128 MB of memory, compared to the 16 MB cap of the most powerful
handheld, which means programmers do not have as much room for error. In addition,
programmers must learn to operate within a much smaller user environment: smaller
screens and fewer controls, for example. Programmers with Windows experience are
unlikely to have much trouble with the Windows CE programming environment, experts
speculate, but the Palm environment, which runs most of today's handheld applications,
will almost certainly be unfamiliar to many traditional programmers. Experts say
experience with Java and XML can be of great use in training handheld programmers, and
some vendors believe that just as mainframe programmers learned to program PCs, so will PC
programmers grow more comfortable with the new devices. Other vendors are not biding
their time and are actively recruiting handheld programmers from overseas, where the
devices are more widespread, and are paying experienced programmers 20 percent to 30
percent above what traditional programmers would receive.
