Microsoft's Windows Mobile community program manager, Constanze Roman (pictured) will co-host a webcast with long-time embedded CE developer Maarten Struys tomorrow, in a presentation slated to go live at 10 AM PDT.
The webcast promises to show how to retrieve, use, and store PIM data.
The webcast is entitled "24 hours of Windows Mobile application development: Using Pocket Outlook data inside a managed application." In it, presenters Roman and Struys (right) will show developers how to use Windows Mobile's Pocket Outlook functionality from their own managed applications, according to Microsoft. Making use of Pocket Outlook is important to limit the amount of data that is stored on Windows Mobile devices, and to provide users with a consistent user interface when dealing with Personal Information Manager (PIM) data, the company adds.
The "sample-filled" one-hour webcast will show how to retrieve, use, and store PIM data via the Windows mobile managed APIs that ship as part of the Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 software development kits (SDKs), Microsoft says. Tomorrow's event will likely mix PowerPoint slides with screencasts showing Visual Studio and the Windows Mobile device emulator.
Constanze Roman, a community program manager with Microsoft's Windows Mobile team, has been working in the Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded field for more than seven years, and frequently participates in webcasts, blogs, and other activities aimed at the Windows Mobile developer community, according to Microsoft. She maintains her own blog devoted to Windows Mobile development, Constanze's Mobile Musings.
Windows Embedded Evangelist Maarten Struys is a technical manager at PTS Software in the Netherlands. Struys speaks regularly at Windows-related conferences, according to Microsoft, and is also a freelance journalist who maintains a blog on the .NET for Devices website.
