Linkpool: Creating Cab Installer for Windows Mobile Applications

Linkpool: UI design

Today I watched a video of Ryan Singer from 37sygnals that I want to share about:

• UI Fundamentals for Programmers: great presentation about UI fundamentals that covers such aspects of UI design as thinking about model, actions and differentiation of information instead of sets of fields and forms.
• This video reminded me another Ryan's presentation at FOWD. I would recommend watch the first one and then first 5 min from FOWD video plus last 15 min (starting at 34th min).

Linkpool: .Net Compact Framework

Today I need to refresh my knowledge of developing for Windows Mobile. So I surfed through my favorites tagged as Compact Framework and here is what I found:

• .NET Compact Framework version 2.0 Performance and Working Set FAQ - it's an articles from Compact Framework creators. So I thinks thats the best place to start.
• .Net Compact Framework Tips and Tricks - although this presentation overlaps with previous article in many items, it also has some unique useful points like class vs structure performance.

Both articles are concentrated on older versions (1.0 and 2.0), but they still a good place for those who just need refresh knowledge or start developing for Windows Mobile.

Linkpool

I'd like to share some stuff that I read/listen recently:

• Speed Up Your Website with Better Image Optimization in Photoshop includes optimization of JPEG, GIF and PNG images for usage on web.
• The Steve Jobs method article is about how Apple can be successful company without doing market research.
• FLOSS Weekly 79: David Heinemeier Hansson is a podcast with the man who developed Ruby on Rails in which he talks about how he came to Ruby and Rails and some other interesting stuff.

I believe this post will be a start of regular sets of articles that I find really exciting and interesting.
