Here are highlights of the Embedded DevCon technical program . . .
Pre-Conference Tutorials -- June 28 Back by popular demand, Microsoft is offering two pre-conference technical tutorial sessions -- run sequentially for those wanting to attend both -- as a lead-in to the conference. Each tutorial is four hours of intensive training to get you up to speed on the Windows Embedded Family of products. Focused at the introductory level, these sessions will give you the background you need to get the most from the conference breakout sessions and hands-on labs.
Technical Sessions -- June 29-July 1 - Building Devices Windows CE -- This Track will focus on how to configure, build, deploy, debug and test Windows CE based devices; discussions should include choice of hardware, processor, peripherals, and integration of hardware with Windows CE, real-time capabilities, operating system architecture, memory architecture and remote device management.
- Building Devices Windows XP Embedded -- Track content will focus on how to configure, build, deploy, and test Windows XP Embedded devices - including creation of driver and application components, reduced footprint, Embedded Enabling Features, Real-Time Extensions - Testing of deployed runtimes (applications and drivers), development of device drivers, and hardware development.
- Application Development -- This Track's content will focus on how to build applications for Windows CE and Windows XP Embedded, t should cover Win32, MFC, ATL, and Managed code development (C#, Visual Basic .NET), including the use of additional technologies for building and deploying embedded devices (database, management etc).
Hands-on and Hands-off Labs -- June 29-July 1 - Windows CE .NET -- Windows CE 5.0 ships with a new set of features and updated tools, attend the Windows CE hands on labs where you will get hands on experience working with device configuration, building and deploying operating system images, debugging, Windows CE Test Kit, Real-Time development, device driver development, building XML Web Services and remote device management.
- Windows XP Embedded -- Windows XP Embedded is more than just a componentized version of Windows XP, the Windows XP Embedded hands on labs will explore how to configure and build Windows XP Embedded devices and will focus on building small foot print devices, booting and running with diskless systems, remote boot options, and remote device management.
- Application Development -- Building an embedded device needs more than just the operating system, you also need applications to run on the device - Windows Embedded gives three options for application developers, Win32, MFC, and Managed application development using the .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. Get hands on experience with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 building, deploying and debugging Win32, MFC And Managed applications for Windows CE and Windows XP Embedded.
