A Must Have Pocket PC Networking Book
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "SITES & RESOURCES" @ 01:54 AM
Steve Makofsky is a well-known profile in the Microsoft Mobile Devices community. He just got his new book released and it is now available on the Internet and in a store near you!
The book is called "Pocket PC Network Programming" and provides a great amount of information on Pocket PC connectivity. In fact, I don't think there is any one place that is more complete than this book. It is not Steve's first book, since he co-authored "Teach Yourself Windows CE Programming in 24 Hours" in 1999. Find out more about "Pocket PC Network Programming" from the author's web site! Here is a list of topics covered in the book:
"* Understanding the basics of Winsock, Windows Internet (WinINet), the IP Helper APIs, HTTP, and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
* Using network resources
* Creating, establishing, and controlling dialup network connections
* Integrating applications with the Pocket PC Connection Manager
* Short Message Service (SMS) Messaging
* Using the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM)
* Interacting with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
* Remote control of a device from a desktop
* Building an ActiveSync Service Provider
* Building applications that integrate with Contact, Application, and Task data
* Writing e-mail enabled applications
* Programming and writing network applications and using Web Services with the .NET Compact Framework"
