Web Services For Devices

We're on on way connecting everything with Web Services! I just came from a talk at Windows Embedded DevCon by Adam Sapek on Web Services for Devices, a “device” can be anything from a flash chip to a tiny motherboard connected in a Peer to Peer network with a WindowsXP machine. We already know how the message goes, from the first “Hello” or Discovery to the next message exchange, matching types and scopes. Then the message flowes till we have an Event notification another message then the Event and that can be ANYTHING! Adam gave me a disk with the alpha bits from WinHEC “ Network Connected Device Technology” and can't wait to try them out!

We-Dig

A new community has sprong up, We-Dig ...so what do we “dig“?

The Windows Embedded Developers' Interest Group is dedicated to the exchange of ideas around Microsoft Windows embedded and mobile software development.

WE-DIG was organized to support software developers engaged in creating solutions based on these technologies:

  1. Windows CE
  2. Windows XP Embedded
  3. Windows Mobile devices, which include Pocket PC and Smartphone.

WE-DIG provides a live, face-to-face forum for software developers to meet and exchange ideas. WE-DIG/Seattle meets on the first Wednesday of the month in Redmond, Washington. We expect WE-DIG groups to organize in other cities, and we are actively involved in promoting and supporting such groups. One way we plan to support such groups is by letting our registered members know about new groups as they start to meet.
