A few weeks ago I did a three presentations and one workshop at FITC Mobile 2009. Unfortunately I did not get to stick around to talk to attendees or go to the second day because I had to fly out to Vancouver for a TechDays session the next day.

I did promise a link to the demo code and various other links to help attendees get up to speed on developing for Windows Mobile so here they are.

1. Windows Mobile Consumer Solution Accelerator
2. MSDN UI Framework
3. Gestures API Managed Wrapper
4. Windows Mobile Blog
5. Windows Mobile Developer Site
6. Porting the Amplitude application to Windows Mobile

Sample Source Code Includes:

• Windows Mobile Developer Boot-Camp
• SMS Interception (SNAPI)
• Telephone Interception (SNAPI)
• DataSet vs ResultSet Sample
• Using Bing Maps
• My Windows Mobile App Looks like Windows 3.1 ... HELP!
• Performance tuning
• Splash Screen and Double Buffering
• Form Navigator
• WISPLite (Windows Mobile Inking)
• MSDN UI Framework
• Using Gradients
• Form Animation
• New Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Features, Sensor API & Mobile Marketplace

If you have questions just ping me via my blog or twitter.  Also, if you are looking at implementing a mobile solution and don’t know where to start, contact me and I’m sure RedBit can help out!

The first Windows Mobile Developer Camp was held in Seattle back in August.  Yesterday at TechDays Toronto during our Taking Your Application on the Road with Windows Mobile® Software session Anthony and I announced the date for the Toronto edition of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Camp which is November 11 2009.  Perfect timing as it’s after the official launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 (or Windows Phone :)

More details to follow but be sure to join us as we will have prizes and lot’s of info on developing for WinFo. 

Came across this video somehow and shows how Naughty by Nature (a hip hop group formed in ‘89) uses Windows Mobile to stay connected to their fans and more importantly how they are taking care of business.  The comment I liked … “The Key to Success is Smart Overhead”

Just shows that Windows Mobile is not just used by ‘office workers’ or for ‘line of business apps’ but used by everyday people wanting to get things done efficiently in their personal lives and in their business lives.  With Windows Marketplace for Mobile, who knows, maybe Naughty by Nature could be one of your customers :)   

Check out the video.
