5.0 out of 5 stars Finally ... excellent reference for native code developers, August 14, 2010
By 
nameless "nomad" (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Programming Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Developer Reference, 4th Edition (Perfect Paperback)
Extremely useful for C programmers with at least a little experience with Windows programming (event-based GUI programming at any rate). Written for native code (C, C++) programmers. Covers common controls, networking, device-to-device communication, multithreading, the registry, device driver programming ... fairly comprehensive list of topics. Does not cover direct X, audio, telephony. Up to date. Lots of complete code listings in the book. Downloadable resources from Microsoft Press website are excellent, more than just the source code for the examples in the book -- includes CE SDK for Visual Studio and an emulator. Highly recommended introduction to Win Mobile programming and exactly what I was looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference, July 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Programming Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Developer Reference, 4th Edition (Perfect Paperback)
This book fulfils almost everything I was expecting.
It covers a broad scope of programming tasks for Windows CE.
I would recommend it.

Missing: some sort of media or link for source code samples.
(Retype the contents of a 15 pages project?)

4.0 out of 5 stars Native Windows CE programming essentials, June 25, 2008
This review is from: Programming Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Developer Reference, 4th Edition (Perfect Paperback)
Douglas Boling knows much more than is written in this book. You can say that from reading his MSDN articles and from other people mentioning him in the blogs. Unfortunately, this book tries to cover too much topics without any advanced details.

But I've read through this book in spite of the fact that I initially read this book in 2nd edition and skimmed through 3rd edition in the past. I cannot really like the book because I was expecting that it would split in two parts: user-mode/UI development and kernel mode/system programming.

Still I recommend it to any developer (even working with .Net Compact Framework) to become familiar with Windows CE programming. In fact, there is no other option, this is the only such book and it's quite good.
