Overview

This book includes developing applications for all the main types of modern mobile devices under one roof both those based on the Palm operating system and those based on PocketPC. The book focuses on using the new MobileVB tool from AppForge to create applications for Palm devices, pocket computers with the Pocket PC/Windows CE operating system, and for Kryocera and similar communicators. In addition, we will look at a different, free development environment from Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0 that allows you to create programs for pocket computers with the Pocket PC operating system (and its previous version, Windows CE). Here the book devotes much attention to tasks that use databases, including a compact version of the SQL server. The book compares both instruments, explaining the idea behind each of them. At the beginning of each part, the author describes 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. The book covers a wide range of possible programs: games, applications that use databases, and Internet technologies. Almost every chapter contains information that can be used to create separate applications for a certain purpose, and therefore all can be considered independent of the rest. Additionally, in the first, introductory part, the book briefly demonstrates ways of using another popular tool for building mobile applications NS Basic and also the original PDA Toolbox application, which allows you to create programs for Palm devices without even one line of code!
