This book has all that you need to develop, install configure Windows CE environment. I have much experience in Windows Plataform development but i have enter to the world of embedded developing hardware and the soul (software) and this book open my eyes and guide me to the world of BSP, bootloader, toolchain, etc.

The book has many examples, step by step, url to download the software, graphics, etc. If you want to buy only a book this is the one.

I am new to Win CE. I am still reading the book. I am finding the book very helpful. I have few other books on Win CE, but I found this to be much better than the other ones I have. This got me up and running very quickly.
