PocketC is a software development tool that facilitates the creation of applications for personal digital devices such as PocketPC and Windows CE-based devices.
I recently had the opportunity to review PocketC, a software development tool that offers a unique approach to programming. Unlike Visual C++, which generates machine code, PocketC writes intermediate code that is interpreted by a freely distributable runtime.
One of the benefits of PocketC lies in its suitability for Windows CE machines. These devices often run client applications that don't require incredibly fast loop or integer performance. As a result, PocketC's use of virtual machines (VMs) is well-suited for these types of devices.
Moreover, WindowsCE-powered devices can come with many different sets of CPUs and platforms. Rather than producing a separate executable for each platform and each CPU, PocketC allows you to distribute one binary for all WindowsCE devices. This capability streamlines the development process and saves time while ensuring that your application can run on a broad range of devices.
Overall, PocketC offers a compelling set of features and benefits for software developers, particularly those working with WindowsCE devices.
