It has ONE chapter on .NET compact framework, which is what any new CE applications would be programmed in. Don't buy this if you're new to CE. Buy a .NET compact framework book. Good work, January 10, 2006 This is a great reference guide to use when programming on Windows CE. The examples are good to use as templates. The author is good at explaining and for sure the information covered in the book is relevant. There were several pages in the book that hadn't been printed, but luckily the whole book also came in digital format on a CD with the book. The book is quite thick but I can't say there is any nonsense in it. Now I'm just waiting for an update to Windows Mobile 5.0. Hey Doughlas, get busy! .net and CE, November 08, 2005 Looks can deceive (title). It's a good book to learn all (almost) about windows CE but it's a pitty that only the last chapter treats a small piece of the .net approach. So if you are interested in learning windows CE in using the last visual studio 2005 beta this isn't the book need ! Excellent book., April 08, 2004 This book is awsome! This book is for someone that has a strong C++ background but does not have to have experience with the windows api in order to begin programming on a CE box. If you know the windows API a lot of this book might be review. The book also does not go into a lot of depth about the architecture of windows CE. It also only skims over sections about bluetooth, smartphone, pocket pc and other technologies that you may want to use on your ce box. Along with this book you will probably want a reference book specifically on Embeded studio and on whichever technologies you are using. For the price and the coverage this cant be beat. Good material for the buck, could be more compact and more, February 17, 2004 Maybe I would go typing everything in superlative about this book - if my wrists wouldn't hurt so much from trying to hold it. The book tries to "compete" with Petzold's Windows classic on the page count but material is enough to fill say 750 good pages or less. For a book that needs to contain a lot of practical information (and this one does) it is a big handicap when you can't actually keep it even on your table without some stand. Also I wish author took some courage to call the book Win CE 4 or at least mention C++ or "not managed" in the title. By seeing the title I was sure that it was just another replica of the Compact Framework book and wouldn't even browse it. So, I don't have any wish to see the size doubled up to include CRL, I just have the wish to see the adequate title for the non-CRL content. You might also be interested in these items...
