Session at German Embedded Software Congress
Had a session to indroduce the .NET Micro Framework at the first German Embedded Software Congress (ESE) today. The audience consists of traditional embedded programmers using C++, C or even assembler. The interesting question at the beginning of the presentation for me was how much people of the 40 attendees have ever heard about the .NET Micro Framework before. There where 4 out of 40 hands up, so 10% ever heard about it. The second question was how much have ever downloaded the SDK/VS and messed around with it. There was only one raised hand, but this was Frank Prengel from Microsoft. So zero percent of the traditional embedded programmers had have a practical look at the .NET Micro Framework. I think there is potential to improve this.
The very interesting question I forgot to ask: How much people will download the .NET Micro Framework SDK after my session.
