Pod attack! [and a revelation]
Yesterday, I was over visiting Mike Hall's office to pick up some hardware. We started chatting about this mobile device demo I've been helping to prepare for PDC.
Mike, being his usual self, decided we should podcast the conversation since "it would be rude not to!" So, here you go... an ad-hoc podcast with me and Mike Hall. Our conversation took many twists and turns as we cover device programming, programming paradigms, widgets, farmers, bunnies, and ActiveX controls.
Check it out in its full 16 MB of MP3 glory here.
I had a revelation during the podcast that Visual Studio 2005, NETCF v2, and Windows Mobile 5.0 truly blur the line between desktop and device development. I feel as if my "mad device hacking skillz" are no longer needed! I still maintain that understanding device limitations like memory, speed, and power is invaluable to every developer.
Do you agree with our thoughts and perspective? I'm curious to know what you think.
