It was a pretty exciting day today in the Windows Mobile world. We announced a number of great new offerings at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and one of which is something I have been working on for a while now. That’s right, I do have a day job in this business… and a rather cool one at that. So, if you are interested in what is going on in the world of Windows Mobile (and especially on my team), check out this blog entry I posted to the Windows Mobile Team blog today. Stay tuned….

I was recently asked about providing some additional detail about the subject matter included within Solid Code. With the street availability just around the corner, I thought this was a great request (Thanks Simon!). So, for folks who are thinking about picking up the book, but want to know more about what’s in it, here is the chapter listing.
- Code Quality in an Agile World
- Class Design and Prototyping
- Metaprogramming
- Performance Is A Feature
- Designing for Scale
- Security Design and Implementation
- Memory Management
- Defensive Programming
- Debugging
- Code Analysis
- Improving Engineering Processes
- Attitude is Everything
As you can see, this chapter listing covers a broad array of subject matter. As I have mentioned before, I think there is something valuable for everyone in this book. However, for those of you still on the fence about picking up a copy, I believe the good people at MS Press will be posting sample chapters soon at their web site. I also welcome comments and questions about the chapters or the book in general. Thanks!
