Maarten Struys had an introductory webcast (level 200) on Thursday, April 23. to Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 for developers. Useful if you are thinking about trying out device development.
Go to the MSDN WebCast site and register. After registration you can either view or download Office Live Meeting or Windows Media re-run’s of the presentation that gives you a good overview of things you need to consider as an developer before you start.
Event Overview: (from site)
With Visual Studio 2008, Device Developers have a very powerful development environment at their hands. In this sample filled Webcast you will learn how to develop applications in managed code for Windows Mobile Devices and you will learn how to configure and make use of Device Emulator to test your applications. You will also learn how to write unit tests for your applications and how to make use of the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Power Toys to analyze performance of your running applications. Of course you will also learn how to deal with data on your device, making use of SQL Compact CE. This webcast is your perfect preparation to get the most out of all Windows Mobile sessions during Tech-Ed 2009.
Other resources
Other useful resources for “to-be” device developers are the MSDN Windows Mobile Code Library and on the Microsoft Windows Mobile Developer Center you will find tons of other resources. One link I like to give new device developers is the “How do i…”video section, in depth video tours on how you perform specific tasks for device development.
Happy Coding!
A plea to new developers… If your device got a stylus.. throw it away! – Try to design your component and form UI’s navigable using the touch screen with a finger.
