For those who don’t know, I have a new book project with Apress. Multimobile Development: Building Applications for any Smartphone is a book that takes you through how to build the *same* application for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry. The purpose is to create a reference guide where if you know how to do something on Platform A, you can find out easily how to do it on Platform B. (Some people who are wondering about moving from Windows Mobile 6.x to a platform other than Windows Phone may find this book particularly helpful.)
I have setup an separate site for the book, which you can find at http://www.multimobiledevelopment.com/. The book shows you how to build an application that connects to a service hosted on that server, so on that site you’ll find references to the service, and links through to Google Code that’s hosting the code used in the book. (The code for the book is published under the MPL.) Over time there will be sample chapters and other free stuff. Apress are also offering the book through their Alpha Program which gives early access to the content as it works through their sausage machine and becomes a real book. If you subscribe to the RSS feed on that site you can keep up-to-date with progress and news.
