5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, October 14, 2003
By Bradley Jones (Fishers, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A book that focuses on database programming using SQL Server CE. More importantly (and let me say "finally!"), this book uses Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Compact Framework instead of still using the stand alone Mobile Information Toolkit and the older Visual Studio .NET product.

VS .NET 2003 makes developing applications soooo easy that a developer that has created a Windows form application can whip out a Pocket PC application in a matter of minutes.

Building an application that is robust and corporate ready; however, requires a more robust database. It also makes the application a bit more complex.

SQL Server CE is the database I choose for my applications. This book addresses all of the questions I've run into up to this point. Since answering questions is what I am using the book for, what more can I say!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Book for SQLCE and NETCF, March 15, 2004
By "siravicb" (Rockaway, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
I am pretty new to the all of .NET, and this book was an amzing learning experience for the budding programmer in me.

This book covered the subject very well and provided examples constantly, a very big plus is that all the examples are done in both C# and VB.NET (though the 2 languages arent that hard to convert to the other).

Overall a really good book and one that belongs in your collection of Mobile Development books if you are serious about the NETCF and SQL CE.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, October 29, 2003
Well, I had pretty high expectations on this book. I never did any PDA development before the Compact Framework, and I was browsing PDA books one day. I came across Rob's last book and bought it just because it was so interesting. Dan Fergus had told me about Rob's new book (and if you haven't bought Dan's new book, the Definitive Guide to the Compact Framework, but it with this one b/c they are both MUST haves) and I figured it'd be really cool.

i was right. Why? Well, Rob is, if nothing else, informed and interesting. He makes you want to read more. he covers all of the normal Pitfalls and Gotcha's that you normally encounter with CE development (and yes, there are a few).

His discussion on Security alone justifies buying this book. Everything else is icing on the cake. And very good icing it is.

Of the few people that truly understand a complex subject, even fewer know how to teach others. Rob is unquestionably one of these individuals, and his book is a bargain at any price!
