I understand release of a new revolutionary version as a nice present to 90th anniversary of the free Czechoslovakia ;) As well as Czechoslovakia became free again after 300 years under Austro-Hungarian Empire on the 28th October 1918, the Micro Framework is launched today in version 3.00
What is so revolutionary?
Lot's of things changed in version 3.0. The major things are notoriously known from the beta version:
- Interop
- Touchscreen support
- FAT filesystem
- DPWS Tools
- Wi-Fi
- SSL
- Serial port improvements
- USB Device
- Color fonts
- Emulator enhancements
But what I like the most is the support for Visual Studio 2008 including Express editions. I believe this is great step forward to mass adoption of this amazing platform. Together with the new easier and cheap access the porting kit it will bring (hopefully) lot's of Micro Framework devices in every house hold.
Go for it!
Point your browser to http://www.microsoft.com/netmf/ and get everything you need to start with Micro Framework. SDK is free, Visual Studio is free and so many cool and inexpensive development hardware out there just calls for your action.
