Building Mobile Device Applications with Visual Studio.NET:
Date: Monday 11 October 2004Topic: VBUG Technical Support Meeting with Mike Pelton from Microsoft Overview: Until .NET was launched, developing for mobile devices required a highly-specialised set of skills, and the diversity of form factors and APIs made it very difficult to write applications that werent locked to specific hardware. Yet it doesn’t take much imagination to see how many business processes could benefit from mobile computing, so Visual Studios ability to deliver applications for mobile browsers, smart phones, PDAs, Auto-PCs and ink-enabled Tablet PCs has been extremely well received.

Topic: SPA-NE Meeting with Paul Wells Overview: Joining a Java development project with lines of code numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and where many of the contributors have been and gone, how do new team members get their heads around all that code? It is rare for the original design documentation to have survived, and even more rare for it to have retained any relevance. With XP encouraging ever more frequent shifts in the design through refactoring, the only trustworthy definition of the design is the source code as it stands.
