Microsoft's Jonathan Kagle discusses .NET Micro Framework applications from Freescale and InThink, as well as a fully integrated development experience with both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual C# 2008 Express Edition — along with interoperability — which provides developers with powerful debugging and emulation capabilities and a more flexible migration path for .NET developers and those with existing native code modules. “The .NET Micro Framework continues to marry modern computing models with rich embedded capabilities, offering developers a highly productive approach to making smart devices, such as a home energy management system that manages your appliances based on the current energy rates and your needs, or a glucose meter that uploads your readings to a common place that is accessible to your caregivers,” said Colin Miller, product unit manager at Microsoft. “With the version 3.0 release, the .NET Micro Framework adds a number of major enhancements, enabling developers to be more versatile and flexible in creating powerful embedded systems.” Also watch these episodes:
