I just posted, what is perhaps the first Windows Phone 7 article, and I noticed there wasn't WP7 specific categories yet. I think a new section and categories should be added. WP7 will be rather huge I expect.

I think a Mobile Development section under articles, with the following categories
Apple
Android Phones
Windows 7
Windows 6.5
PDAs
Miscellaneous
I wonder, can you write and distribute iPhone apps without being "managed" through the Apple Store? If not, the "Apple" category wouldn't be viable.

I expect iPhone app developers can create, modify and download (I trust Apple calls that differenly, probably upload) whatever they choose, as they have installed the development tools to do so; IMO it is only app customers that need to go through the App Store channels. If so, an iPhone section could be viable.

IIRC when I looked at the iPhone stuff when it first came out I had to check some sort of NDA. I can't remember now exactly what it covered (if there was one and I'm not mistaken). I always take screen dumps of stuff like that so I'll have a look through my archive and see what I can find.

If there was one, I didn't save it
If Chris wants to investigate, it's probably worth dropping an email to CG as he was involved in a large iPhone app at one time (yes - iPhone development sucked! ).

An iPhone section should be viable. The NDA will take some reading, but we're hopeful.

I'll read it, the section that is, not the NDA.

I'm not too sure about the 30 Character limit in QA:
http://www.codeproject.com/answers/68180/what-is-Serilizable.aspx[^]
The OP had to paste the question several times to get around it. I answered a question (along the lines "Can I do this ..... ?" ) with a "Yes" a while back, but had to pad it out also.
Do the benefits of the limits outweigh the costs?

He really only had to post it once. The original question is over 30 chars.

I'd say so. We want to encourage descriptive questions. 30 characters is a pretty low margin - though there may be some rare, legitimate cases.

In which case, they can just add something like "thanks in advance".

Need Porsche. Thanks in advance.

No it wasn't! The question was edited from:
what is [Serilizable]
== 21 Characters.

The post by "RogelioP / BASIC-Pascal-C-Logo Spoken Here" with his three line name has the posty type icon a full line below the subject. At first glance it looks like there's a subjectless post immediately below his.

I know this stuff comes from sponsors, and there m ight be a bit of politics involved, but...
I appreciate the software, but I really have no use for most of it. (Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly gonna download it. )
My employer doesn't use any of it (in fact, I've never had an employer that used any of it), and it feels kinda strange to include (or consider including) the DDLs in CP articles. In other words, there's no real incentive to actually use any of it.
What are the chances of getting Microsoft to provide things like a MSDN subscription (the $1199 one), the Expression Pro subscription, Windows 7 Ultimate, Visual Studio, Expression Suite, MS Office, or something like that?

Thanks for brining this topic up. I almost forgot about mentioning it. When i won the Best ASP.NET article competition some time back, i got licences of few thrid party controls for an year. It was of no use to me and got wasted. Those controls were not used in my projects and i had hardly downloaded all.
I am sure CP must had recieved such response earlier too. It's just that including something more generic might be more useful and encouraging.

We'll certainly ask, but we can only offer what is offered. We're not trying to push any of the prizes and there are no hidden agendas with them. They are simply offers from companies kind enough to donate the product as a chance to say thank you.
When we have the resources we do try and hold comps with special prizes (eg laptops, Zunes, copies of Win7 etc) but they take a little more persuasion (or just cold hard cash).

Maybe we need a CPBay so you can trade prizes with other members, or swap them for a CP mug, some rep points, or something.
|
|
|
|

Or the ability to redeem prizes for reputation points.
