Congress Sets New Federal Debt Limit: $9 Trillion

Like many cash-strapped Americans who have maxed-out credit cards, the federal government has hit its limit for borrowing funds to keep operating. If the limit isn't raised, the government likely will run out of borrowing authority within days, risking a shutdown.

When President Bush took office five years ago, the national debt was at $5.6 trillion; since then, big budget surpluses have collapsed into huge deficits, and the debt has shot up nearly 50 percent.

Crash Course on Developing Mobility Solutions  is tonight's talk at NYCDOTNETDEV.

While the rate of personal computer innovation is slowing, the mobility space is exploding with a proliferation of new wireless standards, gadgets and devices of all sizes, shapes and denominations. Similarly, there's no shortage of technologies available from Microsoft when it comes to developing mobile solutions for the enterprise. The obvious question that follows is how do you select among technologies as disparate as Windows Mobile 5.0, .NET Compact Framework 1.0 and 2.0, Windows CE, Pocket PC, Smartphone, SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition, ASP.NET mobile controls and even more? In this rapid-fire session, you will see a broad demo-driven survey of what it is like to develop Smart Client and Web solutions with these different mobility developments options using .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
