 Pocket
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.
