.NET is the biggest change in Microsoft's core programming technologies in the last decade. It includes a complete new architecture for building Web applications and introduces major changes to the Microsoft programming languages. This book focuses on developing wireless applications for .NET using Microsoft's new tool, the Mobile Internet Toolkit. The toolkit generates wireless code for a wide variety of devices, including WAP cellphones, Pocket PCs, Palm devices, and Blackberry pagers. Within the next three years, more than 50 per cent of the devices accessing the Internet are expected to be wireless. The language examples in the book are based on the new version of Visual Basic, the most popular Microsoft language.
