OK, so call me picky. I set up this blog on Blogger, and thought everything would be "okey-dokey". It only took me a few days to realize that I much preferred a more robust blogging experience, not so much for me but for you as the reader. I decided to move to a .text blog. The support for categories (and the ability for you as the reader to either filter or receive just a single category via

It's funny, the things we take for granted that (when heard or read by others) causes such surprise. Take, for example, my post the other day entitled "Your Compact Framework 'Phrase of the Day'". In that post, I mentioned my current employer (Progress Software Corporation). Well, I have since received a few e-mails regarding this fact and the surprise it generated amongst some of the readers of

For those who are unaware, Code Camp is a free one-weekend intensive training session sponsored and hosted by the Microsoft - Waltham offices. For one weekend (Saturday and Sunday, so you don't have to be out of the offices), Code Camp provides track-oriented sessions that are really code-intensive and beneficial. The first Code Camp in Boston earlier this year was a great success. So successful

Anyone who knows me also knows I am a sort of "enterprise architecture junkie". Fifteen-plus years of application development focused on the enterprise has taught me many lessons, and the recent major push on enterprise application design (reinforced through Reference Architectures, Patterns and Practices and Application Blocks) is a great way to share the wealth of knowledge surrounding

People often ask for a brief description that compares the functionality of the .NET Compact Framework to the full .NET Framework. A few years ago, the company I work for (Progress Software Corporation) used a term to describe their web-based server-side programming language (SpeedScript, part of the WebSpeed environment) in comparison to their standard 4GL programming language - "extended subset

One of my goals with starting this particular blog separated from BostonPocketPC was to focus on Windows Mobile and Tablet PC development, especially in the enterprise. One of the best ways for me to effectively communicate and provide value on these types of topics is to here from you, the reader. While I feel as though I have always been as accessible as possible, it never hurts to remind

I have been getting a lot of questions lately about extending enterprise applications to Windows Mobile devices. While I am really excited about the number of organizations finally considering making the move, I have become a bit concerned about some of the initial design thinking that some have been doing. In some cases, developers have equated "extending the application" to "moving the

I just wanted to let everyone know that my presentation, entitled ".NET Compact Framework Tips & Tricks", is available for download over at BostonPocketPC.com.

As someone who has spent a great deal of time over the past 2+ covering the breadth of information around the mobility space at BostonPocketPC.com, I began to recently think about how I might (or should) put a bit more focus on some technical areas I have strong passions about - the development side of mobility, including Windows Mobile, the .NET Compact Framework and Tablet PC. Now don't panic
