WCF Strategies for Windows Mobile Webcast

Due to a last minute scheduling problem, my planned appearance on geekSpeak last week to talk about Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) Strategies for Windows Mobile had to be rescheduled.

I realize it's a bit of short notice but I wanted to let everyone know that it is now scheduled for Monday 12-May at 12-noon PDT (3PM EDT, 19:00 UTC). The URL to register for the webcast is still the same.

I really encourage you to come by and checkout this webcast. Although, our initial point of reference is WCF on Windows Mobile, most of what we talk about applies equally to all mobile-oriented applications whether running on a Windows Mobile device, or laptop/notebook computer.

One of the key areas we'll address is the Store and Forward transport and its usefulness in applications that may be intermittently online or that may switch between wired, wireless, or cellular networks.

Remember that geekSpeak webcasts are more interactive than most, allowing an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to share a very interactive dialog. As always though, I'll be showing some demos so that you can see some real code at work.

I hope to see you there. If you're not yet doing mobile application development, you almost definitely will be doing so very soon and this is a great way to learn about some of the common considerations and solutions for communicating in this loosely-connected environment.

Why is it Microsoft webcasts require me to register to watch either live or recorded? What harm will there be if an anonymous developer learns to use windows mobile better?
You are justing away your audience, that's all. Put the videos up on Youtube if you want to be heard, and publish links as they become available.

I was just asking myself that same question last week.

It takes a fair amount of a presenters time to pull together a good webcast and, as you've mentioned, I'd like to see it viewed by the broadest audience possible.

I would like to mention though that I am not Microsoft and I'm not employed by Microsoft :-) I create and present the webcast content but I'm not involved at all in the processes and decisions behind how the webcasts are published.

All that said... webcasts provide around an hour of pretty valuable content and although I'd rather see that content accessible without any barriers, I don't really see requiring registration that big of a hurdle.

Jonathan;

I've just been told that the site is back up and working. You should be able to access the webcast without a problem now.

If you run into any further issues, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jim
