Seeking feedback for Lab Content
Are you a corporate developer? do you build line-of-business (LOB) applications? preferably those that run on Windows Mobile? If you are, I'm looking for some feedback on a 4-day lab that we're building to provide technical readiness / instruction for building LOB applications that has a client that runs on Windows Mobile that accesses some backend enterprise system, eg. SAP, Siebel, Dynamics etc.
Here's the very basic outline of the Lab.
- Mobile LOB Apps
- Introduction to development, scenarios and platform overview
- User Experience / Data / Connectivity challenges
- Visual Studio for Devices
- Emulator Technology
- IDE and Debugging
- SDKs and APIs
- Deployment
- Strategies and tools
- Managed Code Development
- .NETCF 2.0
- WM5 Managed APIs
- Data Strategies
- Data Storage and Sync Strategies
- SQL Everywhere Optimization and Merge
- P&P MCSF (Mobile Client Software Factory)
- Data Access, Sync and Web Services & Disconnected Service Agent Blocks
- Mobile Component Application Block (CAB)
- Dependency Injection & Object Builder
- Event Broker, Optimization tools
- Orientation Aware Control
- Security
- Windows Mobile Security
- Application Level Security
- Configuration Application Block & Password Authentication Block
- Mobile Test Driven Development
- Unit Testing
- VSTS & Mobile Unit Tester
- Mobile TDD
- Why TDD?
- TDD Cycle
- Development styles
- Putting it All Together
- Guided walkthrough building a reference implementation
What I'm looking for are the answers to the following questions:
- Is this what you'd look for to learn about building LOB apps?
- Is there any topic that is missing?
- Is the length of the lab sufficient?
- What else would you expect from attending a Lab like this?
- Would you attend this lab if it was held virtually online as a Virtual Workshop?
Hope you can spend a few minutes to send me some feedback. Thanks in advance.
