| OverviewPocket PC Network Programming is the resource
developers need to exploit the power of mobile technology and
high-speed wireless connections. This book is a comprehensive
tutorial and reference for writing network applications on Pocket
PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition devices. It explains how
the Pocket PC communicates with the Internet, with other mobile
devices, and with networks. It teaches developers the basics of
Pocket PC telephony, synchronization, and messaging.
Pocket PC Network Programming begins with a guide
to writing applications that communicate over the Internet and then
explores how to use Pocket PC devices with Windows-based networks,
how these devices communicate over serial and infrared, and how
they utilize Remote Access Services (RAS). The focus then shifts to
the Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition before turning to the building of
applications designed for synchronization with a desktop computer.
The final chapters cover the Pocket Outlook Object Model, the Mail
API, and the .NET Compact Framework.
Key topic coverage includes:
Understanding the basics of Winsock, Windows Internet
(WinINet), the IP Helper APIs, HTTP, and the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) Using network resources Creating, establishing, and controlling dialup network
connections Integrating applications with the Pocket PC Connection
Manager Short Message Service (SMS) Messaging Using the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) Interacting with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Remote control of a device from a desktop Building an ActiveSync Service Provider Building applications that integrate with Contact, Application,
and Task data Writing e-mail enabled applications Programming and writing network applications and using Web
Services with the .NET Compact Framework
Sample applications clearly demonstrate each of the networking
technologies discussed, and answers to developers' most frequently
asked questions are indexed on the book's inside covers. The
companion Web site, www.furrygoat.com, provides all the code examples from
the book, as well as additional features and updates.

And "Networking" really means more than just what most folks might consider Networking, like Desktop Synchronization, Infared and a chapter on Pocket PC Phone issues. | I had no idea, 2003-10-08 Reviewer rating: Before I picked up a copy of Steve's book, I had no idea that there was so much to network programming on the PocketPC. Now, I wouldn't want to do that programming without this book. Thanks, Steve! | Very Useful, 2003-10-02 Reviewer rating: Any developer can benefit from this useful book. Combining the best aspects of a users' guide and a reference manual, the book has any information a Pocket PC programmer would need, in a format that's easy to use and readable. The index, FAQs and code samples make it easy to find just the information you're looking for, with descriptions providing more context and background. And I particularly enjoyed the funny and appropriate quotes from movies or TV programs at the beginning of each section. |
