Eric Giguere’s new blog: J2ME Programming Guide

Eric Giguere launched a new blog — it looks like within the past several days — that you should check out if you’re interested in J2ME, err Java ME.

If you’ve been involved with Java ME for a short while, you’ve probably heard of Eric. He’s written two books on J2ME, and I’ve stumbled across countless articles and Tech Tips that he’s written. What I like most about his articles is that he presents some elegant solutions that are relevant and useful in your work. He doesn’t just regurgitate an API, but shows you how it can be used to perform real world tasks. If you’re familiar with Manning’s “In Action” series, you’ll understand the point.

I’ve built a provisioning system, an RMS data layer, a bluepulse widget, and a small MIDP application based on or inspired by some of his articles. I’m sure a healthy portion of the practices I use have stemmed from his writing in ways I don’t even consciously realize.

His blog is now at the top of my must read list. Check it out. I bet he makes you better at what you do!
