I thought that this was an interesting item. It’s the history of programming languages back to the mid-50s. There are a few things that I saw that were interesting – such as the fact that Fortran will be 50 this November and is the ancestor to a number of programming languages. There were a few inaccuracies, such as the fact that they skipped from VB 1.0 to VB 6.0 and completely missed all of the releases between.

Oh well, it’s an interesting thing anyways…

There are a number of reasons that you might want to host a native windows control on the Compact Framework and now there’s a way using the OpenNetCF framework.

The Windows Mobile Team just published a white paper on migrating from eVB to VB.NET on the Compact Framework. This is a really good thing and is worth a read.
