Review

I recommend this book highly. It has a proper introduction for .NET devices and application development. This is the exact book that I was looking for.

All Things Mobile, All Things .NET

What a great book! I'd been hearing so much about wireless development and .NET that I really wanted to start learning about both of them. I've been programming in Visual Basic for a few years now, so I was pleased to find that this book seemed to assume a level of experience fairly close to my own.The first half of the book tells you all about different kinds of wireless devices -- which was great, since I was only familiar with my own Nokia cell phone. The second half of the book tells you all about the different .NET technologies that you can use with these devices.After reading this book, I was able to create a full WAP-based hour-tracking application for my personal use in just one evening. That alone paid for the book!

Very nice intro!

I bought this book at the PDC in LA just a few weeks ago. At the PDC, the .NETcf (compact framework) was released, and this book covered the process of building .NET apps that run on various PDAs. Within miniutes, I was able to build a C# app for my HP handheld. The book talks about lots of other cool topics. For example, there is coverage on how to get .NET apps to run on Palms, cell phones and even interact with J2ME clients (using web services / XML).All in all this is a very solid book on building mobile apps using .NET. (...) ...I for one found a ton of information that was no where in the supplied docs.
