Sentient thoughts about .NET

Indigo SDR

It's been a couple of week since I attended the Indigo SDR event in Seattle and my head is still buzzing with excitement about it.

The SDR was the first time I've gone deep on what the Indigo team have been doing and I'm impressed, infact very impressed.  The balance between capabilities, extensibility and simplicity seems to be spot on.

The bit I love the most about Indigo is the worlds simplest sample code will still provide you with a secure, reliable and potentially authenticated web service call with only a few lines of code.  Security is on by default so you have to explictly turn it off rather than the other way round.

I will post some Indigo sample code when I next get a few minutes spare.

Indigo rocks!   Sadly waiting for it to be launched doesnt. :-(

Sportsdo

Over the past couple of months I have been focusing my time on creating a new business division within Sentient called Sportsdo.  Our new Sportsdo division creates software for sports people which runs on SmartPhone and PocketPC.

www.Sportsdo.info

We have been through a very steep learning curve with the .NET Compact Framework and are now participating in the beta program for the next Windows Mobile platform release (Magneto).

The current suite of applications we have developed include Rundo, Skido, Snowdo, Bikedo and Cycledo.   We have many others in the pipeline too including Golfdo, Trackdo, Saildo, etc. etc.

We will make some Magneto code example available as soon as our NDA allows.
