phone on the left is Simon Rackstraw's - author of signature
capture with eVB.
To those attendees that are thinking
that I have forgotten to mention the Pocket PC Fanfest
- think again. It was a blast - MS did a fantastic job,
to the protect the innocent I won't be publishing those
pictures.
The developers
One of the conference highlights had
to be the people that I met. Being the first MS Mobility
Developers Conference you knew that everyone that was there
had an interest in the future of mobility development. In
this respect the conference was unique - mobility development
wasn't fighting for attention amongst hordes of desktop
developers (not that there is anything wrong with that!)
instead it was on the stage. To that end it was very gratifying
to swap ideas and have a meeting of minds with people embarking
down the same development track as yourself. I thoroughly
enjoyed meeting Vassili Philippov of PocketPCDN
and spb; and Chris Muench who needs no introduction (Windows
CE Technology Tour author). In addition the unprecedented
access to the MS experts in the .NET Compact Framework and
SQL Server CE arena was a first - looking at the agenda
and seeing nothing but mobility developer sessions is a
beautiful thing and hopefully it will be repeated next year
- in the States!
