Liberty on Whidbey: Rapid Application Development with VB.NET 2.0
For a couple of years now, Jesse Liberty been touting the Microsoft endorsed-sentiment that it really doesn't matter if you program in C# or in VB.NET, since both are just syntactic sugar layered on top of MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language, the true language of .NET).

Writing Cross-Platform Mobile Applications Using Crossfire If you are a Microsoft developer familiar with the .NET Framework, you generally have two options if you want to write mobile applications.

However, using the .NET Compact Framework you can only target Pocket PC devices. And that essentially means that you are out of luck when it comes to developing for competing devices such as Palm and Symbian Smartphones. In this article, Wei-Meng Lee introduces you to a new open source project known as Crossfire that promises to close the gap. [ONDotnet.com]
