EMbedded Visual Basic: Windows CE and Pocket PC Mobile Applications is an in-depth exploration into eVB's inherent features, and how to use them to solve likely mobile application programming tasks. The reader will be able to write applications tackling a wide array of business problems for Windows CE-powered devices, both customized and for the popular Pocket PC and Handheld PC products. The documentation for eVB is not very strong; this book will help ease the transition into the language, and provide a reference for even more experienced developers.
The Pocket PC is the fastest growing platform for building handheld-based enterprise applications. Free from the memory limitations and underpowered processors of other handheld platforms, Pocket Access and eMbedded Visual Basic are providing the Pocket PC with the same one-two punch that Microsoft Access and Visual Basic gave Windows application development in the early 1990s. As the first rapid application development tool for the Pocket PC, eMbedded Visual Basic increases developer productivity and allows for the creation of a wide range of database applications to empower an increasingly mobile workforce. This is the first book on the market to focus on Pocket PC development using Microsoft's free eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0. Pocket PC Database Development with eMbedded Visual Basic is designed to get software developers up to speed building Pocket Access database applications using eMbedded Visual Basic on the Pocket PC. Author Rob Tiffany has put his own Visual Basic background to work in developing advanced Pocket PC applications for large energy companies. It's from this perspective that he guides professional Visual Basic and Access programmers into the world of Pocket PC software development. This book ramps up your skills in fast-paced but pragmatic fashion. After describing the subset of the SQL language that Pocket PC developers need to know, the author guides you through Microsoft's ADOCE and ActiveSync technologies with no-nonsense examples. Tiffany effectively shares his "been there, done that" experience to help programmers avoid the shoals can sink efforts to build Pocket PC applications that communicate with either local Pocket Access databases or remote SQL Server databases.

In 2010, the Newseum in Washington D.C. finally obtained the suit O. J. Simpson wore in court the day he was acquitted, and it now stands as both an artifactin their STrial of the Century exhibit and a symbol of the American media "s endless hunger for the criminal and the celebrity. This event serves as a launching point for Ishmael Reed "s Juice!, a novelistic commentary on the post-Simpson American media frenzy from one of the most controversial figures in American literature today. Through Paul Blessings ”a censored cartoonist suffering from diabetes ”and his cohorts ”serving as stand-ins for the various mediums of art ”Ishmael Reed argues that since 1994, SO. J. has become a metaphor for things wrong with culture and politics. A lament for the death of print media, the growth of the corporation, and the process of growing old, Juice! serves as a comi-tragedy, chronicling the increased anxieties of Spost-race America.
The book is about developing mobile Enterprise solutions based on the Microsoft Pocket PC platform. The reader is provided with a discussion of the business impact of mobile solutions, a method that facilitates the development of Pocket PC applications, mobile system architecture design, getting started instructions, and a significant amount of sample code walkthroughs. The sample code is based on: eMbedded Visual Basic SQL Server 2000 Windows ® CE Edition SQL Server 2000 Odyssey Software CEfusion Transaction Server (Component Services) Message Queue Server Internet Information Server (HTML, XML/XSL, ASP) Web Services using SOAP Developers already familiar with Microsoft tools and infrastructure are given a mobile development kick-start.

"Here is the definitive guide to programming the Windows CE API--now in its third edition, with details on how to use Windows CE .NET to design high-performance applications for smart devices"--Resource description page.
A guide to developing applications for the main types of modern mobile devices--the Palm OS and the Pocket PC, this book focuses on using the new MobileVB tool from AppForge to create PDA applications. The applications developed are specifically for Palm devices, pocket computers with the Pocket PC/Windows CE operating system, and for Kyocera and similar communicators. Descriptions are of a different, free development environment from Microsoft--eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0--that allows programmers to create applications for pocket computers with the Pocket PC OS and its previous version, Windows CE. Tasks that use databases including a compact version of the SQL server are emphasized. Described are the basic features of MobileVB and eVB and their limitations when compared to standard Visual Basic. A detailed description is given of the controls (ingots) of each of the languages, the library functions, and the accompanying utilities. Also covered are a wide range of possible programs including games, applications that use databases, and Internet technologies.
