"Mobile .NET" begins by examining a wide variety of different
wireless Internet devices. These devices are divided into two main
divisions: those that are directly supported by .NET (Pocket PCs,
i-Mode phones, and WAP devices) and those that are not (Palm OS and
J2ME-powered devices). By the end of this book, you'll be able to
make .NET work equally well with all of the devices.
In the middle section of the book, the advantages of .NET as a
development platform are first introduced. You'll produce a .NET
web application capable of serving up stock quotes to virtually any
wireless device as an exercise, building on it chapter by chapter.
The section concludes with a demonstration of how you can invoke
.NET Web services, the cornerstone of Microsoft's new "programmable
Internet," from each of the wireless devices mentioned
previously.
"Mobile .NET" concludes by drilling deep down into the
technologies provided by .NET specifically for use with wireless
devices. The Mobile Internet Toolkit, which can automatically adapt
the output of a .NET web application based upon the special needs
of differing client devices, is discussed first. Next, Microsoft's
mobile data strategy and the main technologies underlying it, SQL
Server (CE and desktop versions), XML, and ADO.NET, are discussed.
Finally, in a special technology sneak preview, author Derek
Ferguson unveils Microsoft'smobile .NET technology, which brings
the power of .NET development directly to handheld devices: the
.NET Compact Framework.
