Hi there

NetCFTeam — Fri, 23 Jul 2004 17:37:00 GMT

It has come to my attention that the .NET Compact Framework has been remiss in regards to getting a team wide weblog going. Although several of us have been working on maintaining our own spaces (see .NET Compact Framework Team Members links), there has not been a one-stop-shopping location for infomation or discovery of our weblogs.

As of today, we're not slacking any more ;)

The plan for this space is to have various members of the NetCF team share solutions to common problems, tips, tricks, etc. We hope you enjoy it.
