Sams Teach Yourself Wireless Java with J2ME in 21 days by Michael Morrison (SAMS)

I've never bothered to purchase a book that claims it will teach me something in x # days. Well this book surely has changed my mind.
It's a well-structured book that takes you by the hand and step for step teaches you the ins-and-outs of programming for the J2ME "platform".
Programming for mobile devices is all about compromises. Not enough memory, the limitations of the screen etc. Mr. Morrison clearly highlights these limitations and shows you how to program around them.
The examples in the book are fantastic and fun. If they don�t get you started on your own little pet project nothing will. I did not manage to try them all but the one's I did try worked perfectly, without any problems.
Mr. Morrison also has an easy style that is fun to read and his enthusiasm for the subject shows. There is a reference to his site Michael Morrison but at the time of writing, it was still under construction.
Having said this all. It would be nice if Mr. Morrison extended his Appendixes to include the API's for J2ME and a list with the New Term's that he has scattered all over his book.
I think it's the perfect book to start your journey programming with J2ME and I mean any device that can use J2ME and not only mobile phones. I highly recommend it.
