Microsoft Mobile Application Development Programming

So what is MMIT?

Simply put, MMIT is an extension to ASP.NET (Active Server Pages), which, through Microsoft's IIS server software, allows web applications to be accessed by just about any internet-enabled mobile device.

MMIT 1.0 is available as a free download from Microsoft but a license to Visual Studio.NET is recommended to help you get the most out of it. Additionally, developers should have a background of managing IIS servers, developing ASP.NET applications, and programming in a .NET-enabled language such as VB.NET or C#.

The key to MMIT is that it runs entirely from your IIS web server and the applications developed with it are accessed by users exclusively over internet or intranet connections.
Because of this server-side architecture, there are no requirements for end users aside from having sone sort of network connection and web browsing software. While this requires that the mobile device be connected to the internet, Microsoft and other's believe that wireless technology will soon allow such an occurrence to be common place, either via cellular communications or 802.11x wireless networks.

Essentially, when a user's mobile device connects to a MMIT web application, the server first discovers technical information about the user's device hardware, web browsing software, and network connection speed. Based on this information, MMIT works its magic by transforming your application into a form best suited for that particular device. MMIT takes care of correctly rendering an application for the markup language (HTML, WML, or cHTML), web browsing software, and screen size of each mobile device that connects to the application.
