Hi everybody, I'm new in this field of developping applications for
mobile. I would like to create an application that takes data from
internet and then show these informations on the screen. I would like
to do that for smartphones and pocket PC. I would like to do it in C++,
and the environment that I chosed to develop it, is Visual studio
2005. I don't know what I have to do, but if anybody knows about a
tutorial, or where I can find examples it will be very useful to me.

Thanks

As a first step, get a copy of Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0, then scoot on over to

http://www.codeproject.com/ce/

for some examples.

Thank you very much. I found that there are many interesting things
there . I made some very simple applications, and I can uses them on my
phone.
But now I would like to know how I can take information from the
internet and store it in a variable. I don't know what kind of API can
help me to interact with a server.
If you have some information, it will be very useful to me,

Best regards

Questions about programming are far more likely to get useful answers
if asked in a newsgroup for programmers. For C/C++ and Pocket PC,
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer is a good start. Also, for most
newsgroups, using google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
newbie
in that group generally finds useful threads.

You want to look into network sockets (also known as 'winsock' for Windows
sockets) programming. Basically you'll open a connection (socket) to the
appropriate web server, get the page you require (by sending a 'GET' request
to that socket), wait for the results, then locally parse them to get the
data you want to display.
