Expert .NET Micro Framework will teach you everything you need to know to use the .NET Micro Framework to create effective embedded applications. It begins with the basics of accessing hardware and networking before delving deep into the less-known areas such as cryptography and globalization, and how to use technologies such as wireless communication that are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework. This book is a must if you want to get as much as possible out of the .NET Micro Framework to write powerful embedded applications. Expert .NET Micro Framework also describes how to use resources and write globalized and multilingual embedded applications. You will learn how to effectively use binary serialization to store data permanently in flash memory or exchange data with a PDA or PC. Topics like cryptography and encrypted data exchange with a .NET or Compact Framework application are covered. What you’ll learn - Get an overview of the .NET Micro Framework 3.0 and its tools.
- Explore the available devices and development kits.
- Use and write managed drivers to access the hardware components such as GPIO ports, serial ports, I2C and SPI components, network sockets, and file systems.
- Provide web services on devices with the new Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS).
- Master advanced and undocumented topics such as cryptography, secure sockets, multithreading and synchronization, binary serialization, extended weak references, execution constraints, globalization and localization using resources, and implementing a USB client.
- Write applications with a rich graphical user interface based on a mini Windows Presentation Foundation that supports touch displays and gesture input.
- Effectively extend or write hardware emulators using undocumented features of the configuration engine and emulator components.
Who this book is for This book is for anyone with an interest in creating embedded systems. Primarily, it is written for the benefit of .NET developers with a background in C#, but it will equally appeal to hardware developers with a background in Assembler, C, or C++ who will be impressed by the benefits that managed code can bring to their devices.

Embedded Systems & Physical Computing Development for The Non-ExpertApr 13, 2011
By Ira Laefsky
"Ira Laefsky"
By nature I am a fan of Open Software & Hardware and have been doing extensive development with the Arduino and the OMAP/Davinci Beagleboard (TI Chipset with Linux). The Arduino hobby and physical computing is a big draw for Makers and Hackers who have up until now not had the background for hardware and software hacking with microcontrollers. It takes a lot for me to try and recommend a Microsoft-based platform but this book and the systems based on the
.Net Micro Framework are the attraction that will draw me and others to this powerful network-able and easy-to-use platform. It is as easy to use as the Arduino and is much more powerful in terms of i/o capabilities and networking. This excellent text covers all aspects of the software environment Visual Studio Development tools the C# language, libraries, web services and the emulator/debugger. Some aspects of hardware and i/o access are also described.
The Netduino and GHI Electronics Fez Panda II are highly Arduino compatible (allowing most shields to be interfaced), and offer many additional capabilities in I/O and Networking (including Internet of Things capabilities). They are especially attractive to the Arduino enthusiast, and use the Framework described in this manual (text). I highly recommend this book as an introduction to the .NET Micro Framework and these powerful but easy to implement tools for Physical Computing.

Good Book for the Micro FrameworkSep 10, 2011
By seulater
As just starting out in the MicroFramework there are not many books dedicated to this as of yet. For myself this was a good book to help get some of the basic ideas and concepts down. This Author has a good way of explaining ideas and concepts all with examples that are easy to follow. I would recommend the book if you are starting out with .NETMF.
