I use Mosso for fun because of the low price. Start up a 20 machine cluster and run it for a couple of hours all for under a dollar.

Awesome! Thanks for the links.

I was thinking about going the C# route, I don't think that anything I'd like to build would require the power of C++. Most of my ideas are just for simple apps. Maybe some location based features.. From what I've read C# should be able to handle that.

Ask HN: Best place to learn about Mobile Development

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm really interested in learning about development for Windows Mobile. I have Visual Studio 08 and an HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6.1.Up until this point I've been purely a web dev guy.. Mostly PHP, a little bit of ruby and python. What resources would you suggest?
