  1. Mobile Application Development with Microsoft®Visual Studio® .NET 2003 Ed Kaim Product Manager Mobile Development Microsoft Corporation

  2. Agenda • Mobile application scenarios • Mobile application approaches • Building mobile Web applications • Building smart device applications • The Tablet PC

  3. Smart Device Experience Full PC Experience Mobile Web Experience • Example: Field Service • Online & offline functionality • Interaction with device assets • Richer user experience • Example: Knowledge Worker • Full screen real estate • Desktop-compatible applications • Rich editing and annotation • Example: News Headlines • Many different devices • Limited user input • Brief, intermittent usage XML Web services Mobile Application ApproachesOverview

  4. Multi-device applications too difficult • Different form factors • Different device capabilities • Different Web standards Very little skill reuse • Different platforms • Different APIs • Different languages Mobile Web Pages Local Code Mobile Web Browser Mobile Application ApproachesTraditional Challenges Device Operating System

  5. Offline functionality Local execution Local data Rich user experience Multimedia Elaborate UI Integration with assets on the device Credit card readers Barcode scanners GPS receivers Telephony/messaging Adaptive rendering Dynamic support for many device/browser combinations Support for low-end browser devices Single code base Simplified maintenance Natural extension to existing Web sites Server-side execution No client deployment No client execution Mobile Application ApproachesArchitectural Advantages Advantages of mobile Web apps Advantages of smart device apps
