Fez Panda II... First Run

Fez Panda II is a very great way to learn .NET Micro Framework which is surprisingly open-source . All of the tools needed to develop firmware application for the Fez Panda II are free from the Internet.

On my initial experiment, the creation of Led Blinker, SD-Card accessing, up to multithreading was simplified by the .NET Framework. I recommend to have a good reference C# book as Fez Panda II uses C# as its main language.

Using C# as its main language has so many advantages. There are a lot of references on the Internet. Back then, I was hoping to be able to use C# in embedded systems development. Using C is very good in small systems. But when the program gets very huge, C becomes a double-edged sword. Used rightly, C# will be able to surpass design problems presented by C.

I just hope that Microsoft .NET Micro Framework will live forever, will be supported by the embedded community and will be available to different microcontrollers in the future.
