1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless! It's only a printout of the online docs!, May 22, 1998

This review is from: Microsoft Windows CE Programmer's Guide (Mps) (Paperback)

This book is useless for anything other than a hardcopy printout of EXACTLY what you already have online. If you own any of the development kits for Windows CE, then you already have this book. Don't waste your money...it's an exact bit for bit printout with nothing else added.

2.0 out of 5 stars Thick book with No Details, February 23, 2000

This review is from: Microsoft Windows CE Programmer's Guide (Mps) (Paperback)

If you intend on Programming in VC++ for CE, don't bother getting this one. Every time I referenced this book, the information presented wasn't worth looking it up. Burdick's is a better choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good...better than all other books I've read on subject, March 17, 1999

This book covers a lot of what I needed. I've been programming CE for about a year and the CE doc's from Microsoft are "lacking". Highly recommend it for database access, creating shortcuts, and other general info. Well written. Great first book for the beginning CE developer with lots of useful stuff for the more advanced.
