It has some very good hardware articles too.

]]>It has been a while...http://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/2007/11/21/it-has-been-a-while.htmlRob Miles2007-11-21T09:05:55ZIt has been a while since we posted here, but things in the .NET Micro Framework are still moving along nicely, with even more devices arriving.

Many thanks to all of you who have bought the book, the sales have been very encouraging and we hope you find it useful. One issue has been reported, which is that there is an error in the GPS example in the download files. I've posted a fixed version of the code in my set of files from the TechEd presetations that we gave in Barcelona in early November. You can find it here.

Many apologies for the problem, and kudos to Jon Hanson for spotting the mistake.

Enjoy!

]]>Micro Framework Webcasthttp://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/micro-framework-webcast.htmlRob Miles2007-05-31T19:47:41ZAnnouncementsYou might like to know that as well as presenting a TechEd session I'll also be helping with a webcast which will be based on the session materials. So if you can't make it out to Florida you can find out what all the fuss is about by signing up for that and taking part. I can reveal that I will be telling a brand new joke as part of the presentation, which is worth the price of admission alone.

Oh, and admission to the webcast is free.

]]>An overdue update on the bookhttp://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/2007/5/24/an-overdue-update-on-the-book.htmlDonald Thompson2007-05-24T20:09:13ZWriting UpdatesThe book is now officially done and off to the presses! It will be available in approximately one month! (Mike Hall blogged about it recently - thanks Mike!)

Also, an excerpt from the book has been published in the .NET Developer's Journal - so be sure and check it out!

Rob and I will be at TechEd 2007. Rob is delivering a talk on the .NET Micro Framework (along with Roger Wolff, one of the lead developers on .NET MF). Hope to see you there!

]]>Writers Blockhttp://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/2007/4/16/writers-block.htmlRob Miles2007-04-16T07:50:45ZWriting UpdatesYou may have been wondering where we have been for the last couple of months. The answer is simple. We've been writing. The good news is that all the text for the book is now "in", which means that we just have to go through the production process to get the book out there.

Once we have some production ready material we will be updating the sample chapters section and the table of contents and providing you with something to get your teeth into.

If you like eating books about the .NET Micro Framework that is.....

]]>Launch!http://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/2007/2/13/launch.htmlAdmin2007-02-13T18:53:25ZAnnouncementsIt is official - the .NET Micro Framework v2.0 is now publicly available.

Now, if only there was a good book about how to use it...

]]>Tech Dayshttp://www.dotnetmicroframework.com/journal/2007/2/4/tech-days.htmlDonald Thompson2007-02-04T23:02:25ZAnnouncementsMike Hall is at Tech Days and is doing what he calls an "Embedded demo-palooza session".

He says "this session is not going to a typical death-by-powerpoint session that sends the audience to sleep, I only have a few slides that will be used to introduce the heroes of the session, these are the .NET MicroFramework, Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Windows Embedded for Point of Service - this is a demo-filled session that will show how embedded developers can focus on the most important aspects of their device - the device experience."

Yay!
