The
Windows Mobile Developer Center has had a complete overhaul. Take a few minutes (at least) to check out the site.
At the
Windows Mobile Developer Center, the first thing you notice when you visit the site is 4 big boxes. Think of these as 4 concurrently running worker threads delivering more content on more topics than ever before.
- “Applications for Smart Devices” box - enterprise development, consumer scenarios, content on working with low-level APIs with C++, and creating better device drivers
- “Mobile Web” box - (some calling “Mobile 2.0.”) - new .MOBI standards, W3C Mobile Web best practices, XHTML Mobile Profile and AJAX on Internet Explorer Mobile.
- “Mobile Games” box - how to build games for Windows Mobile devices
- “Rich Internet Applications” box - (a bit of a mystery) - " Who knows for sure what’s to come in the RIA space for Windows Mobile devices?"
“Getting Started with Windows Mobile” section - (top-right hand side of the page) - tour to get you going with Windows Mobile development (Learn, Documentation, and Essentials)
Below the Getting Started with Windows Mobile section is the "Featured Mobile Windows MVP" (where you will find Mobility Site's Chris Leckness and Jack Cook listed, among others)
Beneath the main (four) boxes on the page, you’ll see a section on the left that completely displays the content of the latest Windows Mobile Team Blog. The section on the right displays the latest blog posts from Jim Wilson, Loke Uei, Rob Tiffany, Visual Studio for Devices, the NETCF team, the SQL Server Compact team, Steve Lasker, Jason Langridge, Mel Sampat, Constanze Roman, and Frank Prengel. The real-time information delivered by these blogs will keep you abreast of the latest developments in the Windows Mobile community.
Last but not least is a section at the bottom that lists all the Forums that help make up the Windows Mobile ecosystem. Get answers to some of your toughest questions from Microsoft employees and the community at large whether you’re building apps with C++, C#, VB, and/or SQL Server Compact.
