And its TCP/IP and Web Services for devices functionality make the .NET Micro Framework a great platform for building smart, connected, service-oriented devices!</p> <p>In this video, Jonathan Kagle (Group Program Manager) and Lorenzo Tessiore (Development Manager) tell us about the work they've been doing on the .NET Micro Framework. Our conversation covers: origins of the .NET Micro Framework, available development kits (00:10:24), devices that are running it (00:13:07), what it looks like to write code for it (00:17:30), and about the upcoming 3.0 release (00:24:50). </p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/netmf">.NET Micro Framework product site</a> </li> <li><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/netmfteam/" target="_blank">.NET Micro Framework team blog</a> </li> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb410018.aspx">.NET Micro Framework Platform SDK docs on MSDN</a> </li> <li><a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/netmf">.NET Micro Framework Connect site</a> (where you can sign up for the version 3 beta) </li> </ul> <p>Update: The .NET Micro Framework 3.0 Release Candidate 0 is now available.</p><img src="http://channel9.msdn.com/430173/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" />http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/cheller/A-Look-at-the-NET-Micro-Framework/http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/cheller/A-Look-at-the-NET-Micro-Framework/Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:18:00 GMThttp://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/3/7/1/0/3/4/20080801NETMF_ch9.wmv55602http://channel9.msdn.com/430173/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Built from the ground up, the .NET Micro Framework is a platform for resource-constrained devices that extends Microsoft’s embedded offering to smaller, simpler “sub-CE”  devices. In this video, Jonathan Kagle (Group Program Manager) and Lorenzo Tessiore (Development Manager) tell us about the work they've been doing on the .NET Micro Framework.Catherine Heller5http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/cheller/A-Look-at-the-NET-Micro-Framework/RSS/http://channel9.msdn.com/430173/Trackback.aspx.NET Micro FrameworkEmbedded
