As some of you may know having seen me @ Code Camps, or other events in the past 6 months or so know, my life's been pretty hectic. Starting back in February and continuing up to this very night, my son has been in and out of the hospital so many times it's sickening to think that I know so much about the inner workings of a place nobody should have to visit that often. He was last discharged Tuesday, and then at 3:30 this morning (Monday) he was re-admitted. Each time they get a little closer to ......
I had previously blogged about Brian Hitney and Glen Gordon bringing a Mobility Developer Roadshow to Atlanta and Charlotte...well they're still doing it, and they've asked Chris Craft and I to join them in the presentation. I'll be covering the section on managed code development for mobile devices. This should be a lot of fun, so if you're into mobile development or looking to get into it, come out and join us! Overview This session is geared towards familiarizing the attendee with developing smart ......
A bit of a late announcement - I'm just returning to a schedule after my son was released from the hospital last night. This month’s meeting will start off with Pizza and then break into "The Adventures of Linq". Linq (or Lanquage INtegrated Query) is a new feature of the .Net 3.5 runtime that provides an elegant mechanism for querying data from within C# & VB.Net code. In this session, we'll move past the basic examples that occupy most introductions to Linq and examine the new .Net 3.5 functional ......
After talking with Chris (Craft) about his project for the next 30 days, I asked if he would mind whether or not I took his C# code and converted it to VB.NET to post on my VB Mobile blog and he liked the idea. With that said look forward to having some updated code samples as quickly as I can convert them. See Chris' blog for the latest installments he's released ......
Fellow Mobility Geek and friend Chris Craft has started a series on his blog which aims to showcase 30 Windows Mobile Applications in the next 30 days. Simple examples to get anyone started on the path towards Windows Mobile Development...now why didn't I think of that? :)
Anyways, to tune in to what Chris is bringing you, head over to his blog and check it out!
The other day I blogged about Server Quest which is a little game Microsoft has put out to shine a spotlight on the I.T. Pro. Having played it for a bit tonight I have to say it's a crazy mix of old school graphical gaming, think something along the lines of an I.T. Themed "Maniac Mansion" for those who may remember that one :) Anyways it's full of some subtle references to gaming from the old days, and it's a neat way to pass some time. If you never played any of those old games, you may not like ......
