With over 2,500 unique visitors each day, the new site now contains 107 articles on Pocket PC development, information on 25 Pocket PC Developer books, 80 Pocket PC libraries and controls, 19 Pocket PC developer tools and links to over 800 Pocket PC developer articles in 38 different categories. These changes have created a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate and well-stocked Web site for Pocket PC developers.<br /><br />Spb Software House places a high value on Pocket PC developers around the world, and decided to improve the usability and navigation of this particular Web site in order to make Pocket PC development information easier to find and access. Particularly innovative and helpful new features integrated into the site are the daily news and content discussion forums. Spb Software House recognizes the importance of developers networking and by providing the site's visitors with a mechanism to share ideas and develop new concepts. With a group of new people helping to operate the revamped site, the ideas and content presented on the site will be invaluable to developers.<br /><br />As with any Web site redesign, many changes and additions are integrated into the new design. A few such changes are broken link fixes with the help of Microsoft's Developer Network, a newly redesigned navigation system, all articles and Q&As have been merged, controls and libraries have also been merged and each article now has a printer friendly version. Furthermore, there is a section containing information on 11 new developer books which have been regrouped using the type of technology as a cataloguing system. In order to make finding information and navigating through the site significantly easier than the prior site, a search function has been added to each page and articles have been regrouped according to their subject matter rather than their publication date, and libraries are now separated by the corresponding categories. <br /><br />Finally, with four new sections, Control Panel, .NET CF, Password Protection and Audio, VP of Marketing Jason Dunn says, "We're thrilled with the results of this revamp. Developers around the world will surely find that the usefulness of this Web site has been increased significantly. In the past three weeks since the new site went live, we've already seen steady growth in the number of visitors we're getting each day." <br /><br />Free Access for Developers<br />As has always been the case with the Pocket PC Developer Network, all developers are welcome at no charge. The goal is to provide quick, easy and helpful information for all Pocket PC developers. With this goal in mind, Spb Software House has rebuilt the Web site with its users in mind. <br /><br />About Spb Software House<br />Spb Software House is a software development company, specializing mainly in Pocket PC software.
