Session abstract: Kevin will be exploring the mobile landscape from a developer’s perspective. There are several platforms that a developer must explore when embarking on a mobile project. The following are the key platforms worthy of investigation: WAP, Brew, Symbian OS C++, J2ME, .NET Compact Framework.
Kevin will provide an overview of all of these platforms and then jump into developing a mobile solution in each environment. For the demo, I will be building a very simple mobile podcatcher, myMobilePodcatcher, and also provide an introduction to podcasting. myMobilePodcatcher will pull an mp3 file from a remote server down to the device and launch a player to consume the file. For those unfamiliar with podcasting, I would encourage you to take a look at http://iPodder.org for a quick intro.
Kevin will first develop myMobilePodcatcher using Visual Studio 2005 leveraging the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and spend some time showing the new mobile capabilities in VS 2005. The .NET Compact Framework application will provide the benchmark for the development of myMobilePodcatcher in the other environments. By the end of the evening you will understand why Microsoft Mobile and the .NET compact Framework rock! |

Monthly Presentation for February |
|
Date: Tuesday, February 28th |

Session abstract: .NET is more than a set of application frameworks. It is a component technology. When you develop a component-oriented software product, it would be naive of you to expect that the only things you will do differently will be limited to design and technology. The development process itself needs to be component-oriented. You cannot "stare into the fire" of .NET without a mature component-oriented process supporting your development. This talk presents you with a component-oriented development process that you can apply to your .NET-based products to achieve robust applications, manage requirements and ensure faster time to market.
