Mobility To Go Roadshow

Sat, 13 Nov 2004 11:27:35 GMT

On Tuesday I attended the .Net To Go Mobility Roadshow and really enjoyed it. It looks like the show is about done but if you get the chance to catch it in the future, well it is a winner! Thom Robbins was one of the most compelling and inspiring speakers I have heard, he has a conversational style and excellent timing that prevents one from ever glancing at the clock.

I was fortunate and scored "The Definitive Guide to the .Net Compact Framework" which was nice since my 'Hello App' was created before I went to bed that night and it has been a good resource while working on a CF project all week in my free time (like programmers ever really have free time - so much to learn). The framework is not so different than any other .Net development but there are limitations and nuances to deal with and I haven't yet ventured into ADO with the SQLServerCE so I have some challenges ahead.

Robbins offered a challenge for a free CF Device and I thought a few of you may want to rise to the challenge. His October 20th post on his blog http://weblogs.asp.net/trobbins has all of the details. Basically submit an app and the top 5% will score "A Windows Powered Mobile Device!", either a phone or PDA.
