    &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[exceptionally, this post is in pt-PT]&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finalmente! O meu livro sobre programa&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o Java para telem&amp;oacute;veis est&amp;aacute; c&amp;aacute; fora...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Escrever o livro foi a parte mais f&amp;aacute;cil (e motivante). O processo at&amp;eacute; ser finalmente publicado &amp;eacute; mais enervante.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passaram quase dois anos desde que acabei de o escrever. Entretanto: arranjar editora: esperar...; rever o livro duas vezes (&amp;eacute; o que d&amp;aacute; escrever em LaTeX e depois a editora apenas trabalhar com Word...); esperar...; ver a primeira prova; esperar...; definir a capa; esperar...; esperar...; esperar...; e v&amp;ecirc;-lo finalmente &amp;agrave; venda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A espera &amp;eacute; desesperante mas absolutamente necess&amp;aacute;ria. A qualidade n&amp;atilde;o pode ser apressada, pelo menos se for esse o cunho que se pretende &amp;quot;imprimir&amp;quot; nos livros editados.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O pr&amp;oacute;ximo vai ser mais f&amp;aacute;cil, as expectativas estar&amp;atilde;o mais pr&amp;oacute;ximas da realidade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dados do livro:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;T&amp;iacute;tulo: &lt;a href=&quot;http://livromidp.jorgecardoso.eu&quot;&gt;Java para Telem&amp;oacute;veis - MIDP 2.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Autor: &lt;a href=&quot;..//&quot;&gt;Jorge Cardoso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Editora: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feupedicoes.fe.up.pt&quot;&gt;FEUP Edi&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ano: 2007&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ISBN: 978-972-752-091-6&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pre&amp;ccedil;o: 20 euros -- &amp;eacute; mais barato (e melhor) que &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fca.pt/cgi-bin/fca_livros.cgi/?isbn=972-722-492-x&amp;amp;op=3&quot;&gt;o outro&lt;/a&gt; :). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S&amp;iacute;tio Web de apoio: &lt;a href=&quot;http://livromidp.jorgecardoso.eu/&quot;&gt;http://livromidp.jorgecardoso.eu&amp;#160;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feupedicoes.fe.up.pt/index.php?menu=2&amp;amp;submenu=4&amp;amp;op=ensaios&quot;&gt;Comprem-no&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;I started out by putting these two topics -- networking and push registry -- on the same chapter, but in the end I decided to break them apart. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The chapter was too big and I think it makes sense to separate the two. The push registry is seldomly used, so there&#039;s no point in cluttering the networking chapter with that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also updated the RMS chapter and am now working on the Multimedia one.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve finished chapters 7 and 8 of  my &lt;a href=&quot;http://livromidp.jorgecardoso.org&quot;&gt; Portuguese MIDP Book&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 7 is about the Record Management System, and I&#039;ll probably add some examples about listeners, but the rest is finished (I think).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 8 is about Threads, nothing very specific to MIDP, but since threads are important for networking (the next chapter) I thought it would be better to put it in a separate chapter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m working on Chapter 9 -- Networking -- now.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;Ok, I still haven&#039;t finished Chapter 6... :(&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You try to describe the CustomItem class... it&#039;s a pain in the a$$! I still haven&#039;t quite figured out how that &lt;i&gt;viewport&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;visRect_inout&lt;/i&gt; really work. The documentation is not that big a help. I&#039;ll try to go directly to the source: the Reference Implementation (if I can get it).&lt;/p&gt;
