Building Applications for Mobile Devices
Just came back from a meeting of the East of Toronto .NET User Group. During the course of the meeting I ended up:
- Joining the user group administration :-)
- Returning home with a gi-normous box of pizza and some useful MS swag
Barry Gervin from ObjectSharp gave a great presentation on Mobile Development with a focus on SQL CE, part of the Microsoft Mobility User Group Tour. At the beginning of the meeting, I got the chance to play with an HP iPAQ hx4700. The VGA display on that device is simply unreal - check it out for yourself.
Barry had a lot of insights on deployment. I found a lot of the content was relevant in my day to day work. Got some solid info on P/Invoke in a mobile context. Also creating update services and applets (using the Agent object) to deploy self-updating PPC applications.
A special thanks to Kate Gregory and Chris Dufour for setting up a .NET user group based in Oshawa. This makes it very easy for developers at the East end of Toronto to participate in .NET community-based activities.
