However, using the .NET Compact Framework you can only target Pocket PC devices. And that essentially means that you are out of luck when it comes to developing for competing devices such as Palm and Symbian Smartphones. In this article, Wei-Meng Lee introduces you to a new open source project known as Crossfire that promises to close the gap. http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/07/12/crossfire.html ================================================ News From Your Peers ================================================ ***How to Write a Book Review by the Melbourne PHP User Group http://melbourne.ug.php.net/content/view/63/59/ Thanks to Chris Burgess for sharing this.

Da gibt's nicht viel zu erkl?ren, es ist ziemlich billig. :-) ?? ist die Kurzform von m??, eine Spezialform von m// -- ich weiss nichtmal genau, was sie macht, aber es gibt sie. Das ist schon der gr?sste "Trick" an dem Ding. Eine weitere potentielle ?berraschung ist "did we", dass sich so parst wie etwa "new CGI", n?mlich "we::->did()" (entsprechend "CGI::->new()"). Die ".." sind nat?rlich Range- bzw. Flipflop-Operatoren. Mit passend esetzten Klammern und allem s?he es so aus: people: ( "hello" .. m? anynone alive? ) or did() we::, "well", die( ! m?!? ); Die Ausgabe von B::Terse oder B::Concise ist vielleicht in solchen F?llen etwas aufschlussreicher als B::Deparse. I know it's weird, but it does make it easier to write poetry in perl. :-) --Larry Wall in <7865@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV> :-) Gruss, -- Aristoteles "Wer nicht ?ber sich selbst lachen kann, nimmt das Leben nicht ernst genug."
