4.0 out of 5 stars Very good bood for writing Windows CE applications, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

An improved SDK for writing Windows CE applications for the hand-held PC, palm-sized PC, or custom operating systems. Good organization for determining functionality. The Communications Guide is organized into bit-sized layers that map to the OSI... this was helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dont look for much VB code in this book, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

The set is well organized and it covers a multitude of information. But, the case cover is misleading, this book contains little if any VB code even though the book requirements state that the toolkit for VB is required (you cant read the books because this kit is shrinkwrapped). Stay away VB programmers,its a waste, go get larry roof's book instead.
