Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================


First we had the .NET Framework. Microsoft then created a smaller version for
compact devices . the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework. This past week,
Microsoft has done it one more time and gone even smaller with the .NET
Framework.


Now you can get the .NET Micro Framework!


The .NET Micro Framework has been created to use on even smaller and less
expensive devices than what the .NET Compact Framework supports. The Micro
Framework is aimed at resource constrained devices. It is aimed at a number of
hardware platforms based on ARM7 and ARM9 processor cores. Even though it is
aimed at constrained hardware, you’ll still need a minimum of 256 KB of RAM and
512 KB of flash ROM for developing and deploying the .NET Micro Framework.


The .NET Micro Framework can be found at:


http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,30bp,1,b3jr,311z,jorm,i5r0


You’ll be able to use this with the Visual Studio 2005 IDE and C#. The
Framework includes emulators, graphical debugging, and more.


If you take the time to work with this new Framework, you might want to share
what you learn with the rest of the Codeguru community by posting an article to
the site.


Until next week…


Brad!
