I really enjoyed delivering my presentation on “Windows Mobile Widgets 101” this past Wednesday at the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User/Developer Group. The goal was to show just how simple it was to get started with widget development. With the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Toolkit now available for download, now is as good a time as ever to get ahead of the game.

I have put my presentation deck (as PDF) and samples together into a single ZIP file for download. Enjoy!

Sorry for the late notice, all. I honestly thought that we were not meeting until NEXT week. Way too hectic a month thus far…

Our next Windows Mobile User/Developer Group meeting will be TOMORROW (June 17th) starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

Among our topics this month -

“Windows Mobile 6.5 Overview” – With the release of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Toolkit, developers and users are getting their first good looks at the latest Windows Mobile OS offering. In this presentation, you will see some of the highlights for both Professional and Standard Edition devices.

“Introduction To Widgets” – With the upcoming release of Windows Mobile 6.5 comes the unveiling of a new application type for Windows Mobile – the widget. In this presentation, you will receive an “Anatomy of a Widget”, how you can create them, what they can do and how you can deploy them to the masses.

As always, there will be lots of items for giveaway!

The next meeting of the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User and Developer Groups will take place on Wednesday, May 20th starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

This month’s meeting should be both fun and informative…

• TechEd 2009 WrapUp
  TechEd is always a worthwhile event for Windows IT Professionals and Developers. Windows Mobile was far from left out of this year’s event in Los Angeles. We will discuss the announcements and sessions presented at TechEd.
• What’s Coming For Exchange 2010 and Windows Mobile Users
  The next release of Microsoft Exchange Server (Exchange 2010) is currently in beta. This newest release will bring a lot to the table for Windows Mobile users. In this session, we will discuss the announced features and how they can benefit you or your organization.
• Let’s Make A Dream Phone!
  If you could design your perfect Windows Mobile phone, what would you create? Hardware? Form factor? Input method? Software? In this group participation-oriented session, we will all collaborate on the design of an ideal Windows Mobile device. In the process, we will (hopefully) learn more about how different people use (and perceive other’s use) the current Windows Mobile devices and how they might be improved.

As always, we will have lots of good stuff for giveaway at the end of the meeting!

Thanks to all who attended our Windows Mobile User/Developer Group meeting last night. It really was a great “giveaway night”, with lots of goodies for everyone.

As promised, I have posted the PowerPoint presentation in PDF format (don’t worry – the HTML links still work) and the example MortScript in all in a single easy-to-download ZIP file.

Enjoy!

It’s that time again! The next meeting of the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User/Developer Group will be held this Wednesday, April 15, starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th floor).

A special note: This meeting will be held in the Rhode Island Room (in the back of the offices, near the kitchenette area). Our normal meeting space is being used for training all week.

Our featured topic this month - “Windows Mobile Tweaks, Tips and Tricks”
Have you ever wondered how to improve your Windows Mobile device’s performance? Customize functionality or appearance? Automate common tasks? This month’s focus will cover the various ways you can enhance your device using registry settings, tools and applications.

As always, we will have lots of goodies for giveaway at the conclusion of the meeting.

Hope to see you there!

I just received word from Microsoft that our meeting tonight (Wednesday, March 18th) will be held in Room MPR-C. This is different from our usual meeting room next door (MPR-B). Everything else remains the same (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor, 6:30 PM start time).

Hope to see you there!

Sorry for the late notice, folks. The last month has been a bit hectic…

The next meeting for the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User and Developer Groups will be held this Wednesday, March 18th starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road).

This month will be an “Open Mic” meeting. In other words – bring questions, comments, topics you would like to discuss. While we always have plenty to talk about on our end, this is your opportunity to get questions answered and thoughts communicated.

As always, we have lots of goodies to give away at the end of the meeting to attendees.

Our next Windows Mobile User/Developer Group meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 18th at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor) starting at 6:30 PM.

Our meeting will include:

• Device Security Open Discussion
  Last’s month’s CES roundup ran a bit long (as is often the case with such a vast amount of information presented). As a result, our discussion regarding personal device security will take place this month.
• Mobile World Congress Roundup
  The 2009 edition of Mobile World Congress (“MWC”) begins next week. By Wednesday, there will likely be lots to discuss and lots of questions. We will bring together all of the major news from MWC into one presentation for your enjoyment!
• Microsoft Tag
  Microsoft has released the beta version of a barcode technology (and more) in Microsoft Tag that has the potential of opening many doors to new opportunities. A major player in this strategy is Windows Mobile. We will provide an overview of Tag, it’s possibilities and demonstrate how you can begin using this technology today for your own benefit.

As usual, we will have lots of giveaways in our monthly end-of-meeting raffle.

Hope to see you there!

It’s that time again! The next Windows Mobile User/Developer Group Meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 21st starting at 6:30 PM. We will meet (as always) at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

We have two great topics for our next meeting:

• CES 2009 / CntrStg Wrap-Up
  As some one you are aware, not only did Steve “fyiguy” Hughes once again attend the Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) in Las Vegas. He actually was a driving force for a unique concept/event for bloggers at CES in CntrStg! Steve will provide a wrap-up of all the CES goings-on and provide his unique insight into this great event.
• Roundtable: Device Security and You
  Whether you are a casual or power user, storing personal or business information, the loss of your mobile device can mean more than telephone access. In this discussion-based session, we will talk about what you keep on your device, what you do to protect that data and (maybe) what you should be doing.

As always, we’ll have our drawing for lots of nice giveaways at the end of the meeting, so be sure not to miss out!

Next Wednesday we will not be having our monthly meeting at the Microsoft building in Waltham. Instead we will have a friendly get-together over some great food and drinks at Bison County BBQ Bar & Grill from 6PM-8:30PM on December 17, 2007 . Food and drinks will be each person’s own responsibility - so eat and drink as much as you can afford. Be sure to check out the menu before you get there.

Bison County is located here:

275 Moody Street
Waltham, MA 02453

Besides food and drink, there will be a lot of conversation, geeking out, sharing of tips, tricks, hacks, and a good time!  We will also give a few things away to make it fun. :)

Hope to see you there!!!

Just a friendly reminder…

It is time once again for our monthly Boston/New England Windows Mobile User & developer Group meeting. Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 15th starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham. MA.

The topic for this meeting – Making The Most of Mobility When Traveling
Whether it is for business or pleasure, for a day or a month, travel always presents a unique challenge to us all. How to we stay in touch? How do we get to where we need to be? How do we do it all without doubling our carrying weight? While mobile technologies can help address these issues, knowing how to maximize those technologies is key.

In this presentation, we will discuss and demonstrate both hardware and software that can help you to maximize your productivity and enjoyment when away from home.

As always, will have lots of giveaways for raffle to attendees at the end of our meeting, so don’t miss out (last month, one lucky winner received a 1 year MSDN Premium subscription, thanks to Microsoft).

Wow - where has the past month gone? It's time for our next monthly meeting. I was not sure if I would be able to be there myself, but now the answer is "yes", so...

The next meeting of the New England Windows Mobile User and Developer Groups will take place on Wednesday, September 17th starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA.

This month, we're having an "Open Mic" night. In other words - bring your questions, discussions and topics around Windows Mobile (and mobility in general). While Steve and I both have plenty of new news to fuel the conversation, I enjoy those occasional opportunities to have those really engaging conversations based upon what you are interested in. Don't forget - you're questions can be technical in nature as well, so any of you developers out there are more than welcome to join in.

As always, we will have lots of great items for our giveaway raffle.

See you there!

Yes, Virginia - there will be a meeting of the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User/Developer group this month

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 20th 2008 starting at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

This month's meeting will have a developer "flavor", with two topics for discussion:

• "Windows Mobile Device Configuration: A Developer's Perspective"
  While many people are aware of device management and configuration solutions available for Windows Mobile, developers are often surprised to discover that they have the ability to configure devices using the .NET Compact Framework from their own applications. In this presentation, we will look at some of the options available to allow your application to configure such features as WiFi, Bluetooth and more.
• "Sync Me Up! Sync Services for ADO.NET and Sync Framework for Devices"
  As most developers will tell you, the process of developing a data synchronization framework for an application can be an extremely complex process. Microsoft is address this issue through the Microsoft Sync Framework. Two components within this framework include functionality for ADO.NET synchronization and a more generalized synchronization core functionality. If you are responsible for developing Windows Mobile application that moves data from device to server and back, than this presentation should be considered a "must-see".

As always, we will have lots of great items up for grabs in our end-of-meeting raffle.

Hope to see you there!
