I wrote a blog post about .NET Micro (https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft-joule-band-v0-part-1 https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft...).
It is actually a pretty nice framework, but it does (did) require a 32bit CPU at minimum, and a hefty amount of flash.
That said, the UI framework was a joy to work with!
- smcl 4y agoOh nice! That was a good wee read, thanks!
- com2kid 4y agoThe next post in the series, https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft-joule-band-v0-part-2 https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft... is more technical. I should do some sort of write up of just .netMF, but I don't honestly recall too much about it in a general sense, since most of my time was spent in the weeds optimizing code.
- smcl 4y agoThese are great. You're a good writer and have interesting experience on some tech that the general-public had exposure to.
- com2kid 4y agoThanks! Sadly my submissions to HN don't do well, I've only ever hit the front page with my launch announcement of the MS Band. I'm terrible at clickbait titles, so I sadly don't see much hope for future articles achieving any significant level of popularity!
