My upcoming MDC presentation
I am officially invited to present at the upcoming Microsoft Mobile Developer Conference 2004 (MDC) as an independent expert. Thanks to Kevin and Jonathan! The title of my presentation is:
CLI347 - Windows Mobile-based Smartphone Development for J2ME/Symbian Developers
The presentation introduces Windows Mobile from a J2ME and Symbian developer's perspective. Pros and cons of different technology platforms and their application areas will be discussed. Rest assured, the discussion will be unbiased, as I am not a Microsoft employee and I have a long history working with the J2ME and Symbian developer communities.
We will also drill down to the technical level. For example, we will cover how to implement proven J2ME/Symbian design patterns in the .NET Compact Framework and how to design end-to-end architectures that are easily implementable on all platforms. I hope this session is not only useful to J2ME/Symbian developers, but also helpful to Windows Mobile developers who are interested in the big picture and learning some practical design patterns along the way.
Anyway, I'd love to hear about your suggestions. Is there any topics you specifically want me to cover? Why? Leave your comments below and let me know!
