I want to thank everybody who attended our Webcast on Unit Testing for Devices this morning. Hopefully we were able to convince you that Unit Testing is not only cool, but also really helps you to create higher quality software. As promised, here is all sample code we used in today's webcast. And don't forget to meet Constanze and me again during our next Webcast, hosted by AT&T. Our next appointment is Friday July 25th at 10.00 AM PTS. Just make sure to register here.

Before even showing you a screen dump of the application I am going to talk about, I want to make sure that you check your calendars and I hope you all have time available to meet Constanze Roman and myself on July 25th at 10.00 AM PST when we will present an AT&T Webcast around location aware applications for Windows Mobile Devices. Hopefully you will be able to join us. Constanze gave me a UI mockup for an electronic compass with some additional information, and she promised to do some live coding during our webcast to turn this into a working electronic compass for Windows Mobile devices, making use of the GPS Intermediate Driver. It looks like I have the 'honor' to test her application, making use of FakeGPS.

Besides showing how to create an application like this, there will be more cool content during this AT&T Webcast. Constanze will show us how to use a little native application to record GPS data for test purposes, and I will show you how to not only test Constanze's application, but I will also show you how the GPS Intermediate Driver allows you to run multiple applications that all need GPS data simultaneously. As soon as we have a registration link for this webcast, I will make it available through this blog.

Here is a unique chance for you to actually see a few of our Windows Mobile experts in a discussion around Windows Mobile Application Development. Lots of topics are covered, like our own personal opinions about native versus managed applications, making use of the Device Emulator, using the remote tools etc. You definitely don't want to miss this discussion. The only bad thing about this video, it is hard to watch myself, I think I look silly, so if you just want to have a laugh, you should definitely watch the video as well. 

On July 23rd at 10 AM PST, Constanze Roman and I will present an MSDN Webcast covering Unit Testing for Devices, live from Redmond. This Webcast is based upon the talk I gave during TechEd USA 2008, but it does contain new material and brand new demos. You will learn how to create Unit Tests for Devices using Visual Studio 2008, how to run those unit tests, how to debug your unit tests and how to automate Unit Testing by executing your tests from a command prompt. Of course this webcast will be loaded samples and you have the opportunity to get all your questions answered if you join us during this live event. Make sure to register online today, because the number of seats is limited.  

Right now this still sounds as a very ambitious project, but after a little vacation break coming up soon, this could be the next real thing. I am already in the planning stage to create a lot of free sample videos on how to create applications for Windows Mobile Devices. There are still some challenges of hosting them on my blog, unless I will make the media files available for download only. But I am also looking into making them available to you immediately by making use of the great multi-media capabilities of Silverlight. Apart from the way this content will be delivered, you can expect tons of information and samples around creating your first Windows Mobile application, making use of location awareness, using WCF, incorporating LINQ and many, many other topics. I hope you will revisit this blog frequently. I will try to make it the best resource to create Windows Mobile Applications by showing you lots of sample code, delivering one video each day during the September / October time frame. Of course, all sample source code will be available for download as well, together with complete documentation of the samples.
