Mobile devices have now become both much richer and much more

widespread - just look at the capabilities of the newest cell phones. At the same

time advances such as the .NET Compact Framework have opened the world

of application development for these devices to a much larger group of

potential developers. Most of the material available to help traditional

application developers adapt to the very different world of mobile applications

(including books) has focused on particular features sets of either the

development tools or the devices. This is the first concise and practical

engineering book that lays out the principals and methods of good mobile

software design and uses concrete examples to back up the theaory. While the

numerous examples use the .NET Compact Framework, the general principals

discussed are valid for all mobile device development. This is a book which is

destined to be a well-respected guide to this growing field for years to come.
