I bring you too, highly regarded Developers, some smiling news today! As you know, Microsoft hosts its first Mobile Developer Conference in London today and tomorrow. I believe about one thousand developers will attend. What an inspirational crowd it must be!
I am so glad to hear that Microsoft is announcing the availability of the beta .NET Compact Framework today! With the Smart Device Extensions this is all we need to go .NET today: "The .NET Compact Framework is Microsoft's mobile application platform technology that harnesses the power of XML Web services on mobile devices. The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework brings this vision to the most capable devices, including the Pocket PC 2000, Pocket PC 2002 and other devices based on Windows(r) CE .NET. As a subset of the .NET Framework, the .NET Compact Framework shares the same programming model and application development tools, enabling .NET developers to transfer their existing skills to build mobile applications, which is expected to accelerate adoption of mobile solutions."
That's it for me today! I've had a great day! Lots of cheerful news, and it's so much fun to share it all with you!
UPDATE: This is how you download the bits! Go to Microsoft's BetaPlace and login with user name "SDEBeta" and password ".NetCF".
