Small & Mighty

My partner in crime Peter has a great post with a video about an internal conference held by Microsoft for its internal employees. The "Mobility Smack Down" session is also held at TechEd every year. Definitely a can't missed session if you are attending.

Mobility is here to stay. Some folks argue that it is no longer as cool as it was a few years back, and that the hesitation from some companies to invest in mobile solutions has lured developers away from mobility to the next cool thing. Well, forgive me but I don't agree. With the introduction of the iPhone by Apple and Android by Google many developers have taken an interest in Mobility once again. Microsoft has made a huge investment in its mobile development platform over the past few years. That investment has made Windows Mobile one of the best development platforms out there for mobile devices today.

So if you have an interest in Mobile development and you live in the east coast you might want to check out these free all day seminar on Windows Mobility Development. Every attendee will get a copy of "Microsoft %C2%AE-Mobile-Development-Handbook-Wigley/dp/0735623589">Microsoft Mobile Development Handbook". We might have a Windows Mobile phone or two to give out as well. The seminars will be delivered by my compadre Joe Healy (aka DevFish) in the South cities and me in the North cities. We might have some local community leaders helping us out as well. These are going to be great events so don't miss out on this great content.

Topics to be covered:

• Intro to Win Mobile
• Tools: Intro/SDK/Emulators/VS2008/Debug/Deploy
• Managed Code: NET CF Managed APIs
• Data Guidance
• Whole new level (for a peek of what I mean, take a look at this)
