Ok, I have some cool code bits, announcements, and other such things.  Some of the code bits will be here "Developer Document", the blog entry for the first example I've written up is here "SDK, ADO.NET DataTable/DataSet, and Code Bits", and then of course the regular sundry of my writings.

There has been an on and off demand internally for some additions to the Webtrends SDK for our DX Web Services offerings, so I added some bits.  The following are a list of the features:

• Map to DataTable/DataSet from Data Transfer Object.  Alright, I'm going to do a little explaining on this topic.  The DataTable is the standard, years old ADO.NET DataTable that someone can put in with other DataTables in the DataSet.  It basically provides the data pulled from the DX web services in a flattened easy to use DataTable format.
• Profile & Report Listing Factory.  I added a profile and report listing factory for pulling lists from the DX web services.  This seemed like a no brained, it just needed to be available.
• I also refactored the Report Factory Methods to accept a string or Uri Object Parameter to retrieve a report from.  This way, if another tool creates a Uri then it can be used directly instead of parsing it apart only to hand of the values to have the factory parse it back together.
• Last but not least, available in bite size assembly format.  Check out the Webtrends Developers' Website for the bits.

This is a serious smackdown ad, I LOVED it.  I’ve been pondering dropping the iPhone as it has never felt robust, but the Windows Mobile was just a disgrace.  Now though, WOW!  Between the ad & the seriousness of Android coming to other phone platforms I am honestly getting pretty stoked.  The development environments are better (I mean, Object C, come on), there are multiples to choose from, the platform is open.  Sounds like Windows stomping Macintosh those years ago.  Cept’ this time it is Google vs. Apple.  It is about time this battle got real!!  I’m looking forward to it with bated breath.  🙂

So with that, it just kicked off the motivation to start doing some real Mobile Dev.  Yes, I will probably get some iPhone Apps built, but my focus will definitely be Android.
