Ovaj prirucnik naglasak stavlja na razvoj mobilnog softvera te ne prikazuje koncepte koji su karakteristicni za razvoj drugih programskih proizvoda. Konacno, cilj prirucnika je utvrditi temelje u domeni programske logike i razumijevanja složenih problema koje predstavlja okruženje u kojima se rabi mobilna aplikacija, kao i mogucnost samostalnoga djelovanja i rjesavanja izazova u nepredviđenim okolnostima. Poznavanjem temeljnih informatickih koncepata kao sto su programiranje, algoritmi ili strukture podataka, ucenik ne ostaje samo korisnik informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije vec i njezin stvaratelj. Prirucnik je podijeljen u dvije osnovne cjeline. Prva cjelina donosi poglavlja koja se odnose na teorijske koncepte razvoja mobilnih aplikacija, a druga cjelina prikazuje cjelokupni proces razvoja mobilne aplikacije Memento vodeci ucenika kroz cjelokupni proces korak po korak.

Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools were designed to develop applications that run on Windows CE devices (e.g., Pocket PC and Handheld PC 2000). It is a free software product that can be downloaded at the www.microsoft.com Web site. Two programming languages are supported by Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools: Embedded Visual Basic (eVB) and Embedded Visual C++ (eVC). These two programming languages are versions of Visual Basic and Visual C++ with limited capabilities, respectively. Therefore, developers with Visual Basic or Visual C++ experience can easily leverage their existing expertise to develop mobile or wireless applications. Since many developers are familiar with Visual Basic, we will explore the techniques of using eVB to develop applications for wireless devices in this chapter.

n the previous chapter on mobile application development, we developed an order placement system (OPS) using Microsoft Embedded Visual Basic (EVB). Although EVB provides developers with the basic tools for developing mobile applications, it has many limitations. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 addresses these limitations by including tools for developing smart device applications. Using these tools, developers can create mobile applications for PocketPCs or other Windows CE devices with relative ease and flexibility. Similar to EVB, Visual Studio .NET uses a form-based approach to build applications and provides developers with WYSIWYG tools for user interface development, but as you will find in this chapter, it not only provides many new tools to enrich the application but also simplifies many tasks that are cumbersome in EVB (i.e., creating menus and interacting with databases). Furthermore, Visual Studio .NET allows developers to use a number of different programming languages including Visual Basic and C# to develop applications so that developers can leverage their existing programming skill sets. To illustrate how Visual Studio .NET can be deployed to develop mobile applications, we will develop an upgraded version of the OPS in this chapter. In order to provide a better comparison between Visual Studio .NET and EVB, we will use Visual Basic as the programming language in this project.
