You’ll learn to take advantage of the Mobile Internet Toolkit’s automated deployment capabilities, which enable a single site or application to work with nearly any mobile device. Freed from the task of writing code to accommodate various devices, you’ll be able to apply other skills to build a more powerful application: Work with styles and templates. Create custom controls. Read from and write to databases. And use Microsoft’s Web Services in support of a distributed architecture.
