Do you want to build a location based mobile application?
Do you read technical books and feel that they left some parts out?
Do you want to get into mobile programming with "real world" examples?
If you answered yes to one of these questions this book might be for you!
The goal of this book is to teach via familiarity. Since the Uber application is well designed and familiar we chose it as the target but the book isn't meant as a "copy Uber" cookbook. Many applications are built around ideas similar to Uber and utilize designs inspired by Uber. It's our assumption that you can learn a lot by understanding how to build something "like" Uber.
The book requires basic knowledge of Java but doesn't require prior knowledge of Codename One, Spring Boot or MySQL.
Notice that this book is "code heavy", it contains many listings as it implements a full stack mobile app.

Founder, ByeBye Crottoir GO!
I was wowed by the this book during review as this is the only book that
goes out and beyond to explain not only the Mobile app code but also the server side which is rare in mobile apps books.
I would recommend this book to any one who wants to understand codenameone through a real world app!

Delivers exactly what it promises: building an Uber Clone in 7 days! The book is very well-written and teaches you how to build both the back-end and the cross-platform mobile app using the Codename One write once run anywhere (WORA) mobile development platform.
That's a great trip towards your first full fledged mobile app. The author guides you step by step from the package name choice down to the nitty gritty of the frontend animations. He also provides an advanced backend configuration with technical explanations
Codename One is a great open-source project of great people, it's an effective tool to make cross-platform smartphone applications for Java lovers like me. I think that the best value of Codename One is the people behind it: in particular, the author of this book is very responsive to questions and reports of the developers. I've read carefully this book: it's a valid introduction to learn the basis of Codename One, a very good support material for the Codename One Academy online courses, and a proof of how it is possible to developer a real-world complex app.
