We've been working on this for a long time and I'm excited to get this thing shipped. Soon. I'd like to share some insight into what we've been doing for the last 3 years, and why. The first half of the project cycle is divided into milestones, each about 3 months long, split between a coding and a stabilization phase. Like most of the techniques used to manage multi-person software projects, the goal of milestones is to find and fix bugs early and keep the code in good health."</i><br /><br />Mobile developers would be pleased to know that the Microsoft Quality Assurance team has blessed the .NET Compact Framework Version 2.0. Mike Zintel in his blog is talking about the QA process and towards the end has provided some interesting statistics, like this one - <i>"Bugs opened, reviewed and fixed or closed : 11,831."</i> I would like to remind the developers that .NET CF 2.0 will not be available for Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphones. :-( Developers will have to target the Windows Mobile 5.0 based Smartphones to take advantage of .NET CF 2.0.
