The focus will be on application compatibility (app compat) and usability. ... To keep things interesting, I'll run a "spot the bug" contest once a week beginning early next week. A short code snippet or downloadable application will be posted. It will include an intentional "bug". Readers will have 3 days to submit what they think the problem is. I will post the solution, an explanation of why this was a bug, and names of the top 3 winners on the 4th day. "Bugs" will not be syntax/logic errors or generic memory leaks. Instead, they will relate to things that can cause app compat or usability issues over the long term. Remember - the goal is not to teach you programming, but how you can avoid Windows Mobile-specific issues."</i><br /><br />Mel Sampat is Program Manager in the Mobile & Embedded Devices division at Microsoft, and is responsible for improving the developer experience and maximizing application compatibility for current and future versions of Windows Mobile. If you are a Windows Mobile developer then you should check out his blog for tips and in case you think are a hot-shot programmer then how about attempting his weekly <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/melsam/archive/2006/05/28/609197.aspx"><i>"Spot the Bug"</i></a> contest. :-)
