Chris Craft Blog How difficult can it be to code for Windows Mobile? Not that hard it seems, according to Chris Craft. He’s on a quest to create one .NET application a day for 30 days to show us just how easy it is to code. Right now, he’s on Day 4 in which he just created a Mileage Tracker.

Day 3 was a GPS Compass, 2 saw him creating a Bluetooth Manager and he started this quest with a Minutes To Midnight Countdown application.

So why would anyone want to do this? In Chris’s own words

Over the years, I have given many presentations on developing Windows Mobile applications. One thing that I have heard time and time again is that people have a hard time writing their first mobile application. I think sometimes people have a hard time taking those first steps. It is easy to think that it will take too much time, and that it will be too hard. But that is simply not the case.

But instead of telling people, I’m going to show them how easy it really is. The key here is simple: “Taking baby steps is better than taking no steps at all!”

I plan on writing 30 mobile applications in the next 30 days. I will publish both the executable and the source code for each application.

My goal is for each of these applications to be useful, interesting, and straight-forward. Someone considering writing their first Windows Mobile application should be able to look at these applications and “get it”.

There you have it. Be sure to check out his site here for more .NET applications over the next 26 days as he aims to complete his quests. For those who enjoy the applications, feel free to download the CABs for installation onto your Windows Mobile device. And for those of you inspired to code your own applications, Chris will also have the source files for you to look through.

Thanks to Dieter Bohn of WMExperts for the heads up on this.
