The .NET Micro Framework allows developers to quickly create smart connected embedded devices using Visual Studio 2008 and C#, without the added complexity of an underlying operating system. This session will introduce you to embedded development with version 3.0 of the .NET Micro Framework (.NET MF) and provide an overview of the features. You'll learn when .NET Micro Framework is appropriate and when Windows Embedded CE or Windows Embedded Standard might be a better choice; and you'll discover how to easily get started with .NET MF, whether you already have embedded experience or are a desktop developer looking to broaden your skills.
