Mobile Development

Mobile PCs refer to all mobile computers, including laptops, notebooks, Tablet PCs, ultra mobile PCs (UMPCs), and other form factors that are developed running Microsoft Windows XP or a later version of the full Windows operating system. Mobile development is the process of creating applications to run in the most optimized way on mobile PCs.

Mobile PCs vs. Mobile Devices

Mobile PCs are defined as computers that run the full Microsoft Windows XP or later operating system. More specifically, mobile PC development refers to creating applications for laptops, notebooks, sub-notebooks, ultra-mobile PCs or the premier
mobile PC, the Tablet PC.

This means that we are not talking about mobile devices such as Pocket PCs or Smartphones running the Windows Mobile operating system. These are usually referred to as mobile devices as opposed to mobile PCs.

Mobile PC Considerations

Applications for mobile PCs need to be aware of the often constrained resources available and the changing states that occur as a result of not being in a static location. In order to give the user an optimal experience on a mobile PC, software must be aware of these changing conditions and react in the most appropriate way for the user.

Power Management

One of the main resource restrictions on a mobile PC is the limited power provided when running on a battery. In addition to being aware of the amount of power left and warning the user to save their work when it gets low, a great mobile PC application should be aware of when the machine is running on the battery and limit unnecessary activity. For instance, limit the use of animations or unnecessarily accessing network connections. to read more here

JScript 8.0

What Is JScript 8.0 ? JScript 8.0 is the next generation of an implementation by Microsoft of the ECMA 262 language. Combining the feature set of previous versions of JScript with the best features of class-based languages, JScript 8.0 includes the best of both worlds. Improvements in JScript 8.0 — which is being developed in conjunction with ECMAScript Edition 4 — include true compiled code, typed and typeless variables, late- and early-binding, classes (with inheritance, function overloading, property accessors, and more), packages, cross-language support, and full access to the .NET Framework.

New Features

JScript 8.0 is a true object-oriented scripting language. Although JScript 8.0 can now use classes, types, and other advanced language features for writing robust applications, it retains its "scripting" feel, with support for typeless programming, expando functions and classes, dynamic code execution (using eval), and more.
In addition to being a typeless language, JScript 8.0 can now be a strongly typed language. In previous versions, the loosely typed structure of JScript meant that variables assumed the type of the value assigned to them. In fact, you could not declare the data types of variables in previous versions. JScript 8.0 provides more flexibility than previous versions of JScript by allowing variables to be type annotated. This binds a variable to a particular data type, and the variable can store only data of that type.
There are many advantages of strong typing in a programming language. In addition to the benefit that occurs when you use a data type that properly fits the data you are using, you get several other benefits:

• Improved execution speed
• Run-time/compile-time type-checking
• Self-documenting code

Finally, it is important to remember that JScript 8.0 is not a condensed version of another programming language, nor is it a simplification of anything. It is a modern scripting language with a wide variety of applications.
