Guest spacemonkey Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 This article: http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/597.html If true is potentially bad news for all those bedroom developers... Unless you have Visual Studio .NET available to you through work etc...
Guest Soyale Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 I think this article is slightly misleading. For the next version of Smartphone _I believe_ you will be able to use EVC 4.0 which is free and will probably remain so. Using this you would be able to build applications that were written straight to the device. HOWEVER if you wanted to build applications that were written to the .Net Compact Framework you would need VS .Net 2003 which is quite expensive. jp
Guest Emad Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 Oh well, academic discounts will hopefully be decent.. Failing that, I'll just persuade the comp dept to get a license for me (helps with my studies of course :lol:).
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 Yeah, ultimately won't affect me as I'm on MSDN anyway. Also a lot of your bedroom coders will have copies, through an appropriate mechanism anyway, licensing costs are really only a big issue for commercial programmers.
