| Microsoft Conference to feature embedded sessions |
Jan. 25, 2008
 Microsoft has announced two embedded seminars, including one on application development presented by well-known consultant Douglas Boling (pictured), and other outlining the features of its embedded product lines. The day-long seminars are among 13 preceding TechEd, a Microsoft-run event set for Jun. 2 in Orlando, Fla.
The first seminar, "Application Development on Windows Mobile devices," will be led by Douglas Boling (pictured above). Boling, principal of Boling Consulting, is a consultant who speaks regularly at developer conferences and the author of several books on programming Windows CE and CE .NET.
Boling's seminar "approaches Windows Mobile application development from a holistic perspective ... [teaching] the developer to look at the entire system, using the best tool for each task," according to Microsoft. The event will begin by discussing the history and evolution of the Windows Mobile platform, then cover the tools that can be used to develop and debug applications.
The second seminar, for which a speaker was not listed, will introduce the key features of the Windows Embedded platform products: Windows Embedded CE, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Embedded for Point of Service, and .NET Micro Framework. It will provide a first look at the features and tools for building a Windows Embedded image and deploying it onto a device, then conclude with a hands-on lab, according to Microsoft's description.
Other TechEd activities
Earlier this month, Microsoft surprised the embedded community by canceling its 2008 Mobile and Embedded Developers Conference (MEDC). By way of compensation, it is trying to beef up embedded content at TechEd 2008, according to company representatives. TechEd, held Jun. 3-6, will immediately follow the seminars mentioned above.
Software architect Mike Hall says Microsoft is still taking submissions for all content related to embedded development. TechEd can only include a limited number of sessions, however, he warns.
In addition to the Jun. 3-6 component aimed at developers, TechEd includes a Jun. 10-13 conference, TechEd IT Pro, aimed at IT professionals. That event will include embedded content as well, though mostly dealing with device management, according to Hall.
