The chatter
Following on the heels of last week’s screencast, this is part two of my “Windows Mobile Stuff and Things” talk.
If you didn’t see the last one, then don’t worry. You don’t need to watch these in order (if, however, you’d like to see the last one, then please be my guest).
Also, the sound in past episodes has been lame. This time, I think I’ve found the right balance between file size and audio quality. If you didn’t like the sound in previous screencasts, then you ought to be pleased.
What you can expect to learn from this episode
- How to use the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)
- How to use the telephony bits to place an outgoing call (it’d be a little difficult to place incoming calls, so that functionality isn’t covered :) )
- How to send a text message using data data yanked out of Pocket Outlook
Episode links
People have expressed concerns about these videos being exe’s, but I still don’t see a good way around the problem. The reason they’re delivered in this format is that they use a special codec (from these guys) so that I can deliver high quality video in an extremely small file. The exe is also the video player – just double-click and watch.
If you’re uncomfortable with downloading an exe from the net and running it, then just scan the sucker up and down. You won’t hurt my feelings.
Keep in mind that I’m not just some weird guy. I work for Microsoft, I did almost fifty episodes of .NET Rocks, and I’ve been blogging for years. If you’d like to do a background check, then there’s plenty of info out there for you to do it :)
What’s next
I haven’t decided yet. There are so many things that I want to talk about – whatever the subject is, though, it’ll be up soon.
