Windows Phone Thoughts: Pocket PC Development in the Enterprise

I saw someone mention in the forum that they didn't know our very own Andy Sjostrom had a development book out, so I thought it was time to give Pocket PC Development in the Enterprise a plug! I've heard nothing but great things from people who have bought the book, so if you're looking to get into Pocket PC development, this book belongs right next to your keyboard.



"Developments in mobile technology and the wireless internet are converging to offer new opportunities for improving business processes and creating important new products and services. Pocket PC Development in the Enterprise is the first book to explain how to exploit these trends by developing mobile enterprise solutions based on Microsoft's increasingly popular Pocket PC platform. The authors discuss the business implications of the mobility boom before going on to provide the method, the code, and the tools for the reader to develop their own mobile solutions. To aid understanding, the book uses the story of a fictitious company, ACME Copier Inc, illustrating how their field service operation improves customer satisfaction and productivity via Pocket PC applications. The client- and server-side components that make it all work are included with the book, enabling the reader to reuse vital elements of the solution.Pocket PC Development in the Enterprise includes these invaluable features to help new developers hit the ground running: An overview of the business impact of mobile solutions; A tried and tested Pocket PC application development method; An effective mobile system architecture design blueprint; A set of practical, real-world illustrations; A wealth of sample code walkthroughs; A CD featuring all the code plus a host of essential Pocket PC developer tools."

You can purchase the book from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or likely most local computer book stores. (affiliate)
