As you probably know by now Blu-ray is fundamentally built around the Java runtime - every Blu-ray player ships with Java. If you're new to Blu-ray check out this interview with Blu-ray Disc (BDJ) architect Bill Foote.

Blu-ray is really beginning to take off and developers are scrambling to figure out how to create cool new content for the Blu-ray platform. Witness the Blu-ray Disc Java forum which is the most popular forum in the Mobile & Embedded Community and has seen an astonishing 45,000 views in the short time of its existence.

The Sun Developer Network (SDN) has just published a new article titled "Blu-ray Disc Application Development with Java ME, Part 1: Creating Your First Application" which is an excellent introduction into the world of Blu-ray application development. I encourage you to check it out.

Cheers,
