5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about Windows CE 4.x (CE.NET), September 29, 2003

By	Peter Koch (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The previous reviewer is confused between CE.NET and .NET (which is understandable). This book is about CE.NET the operating system (aka Windows CE 4.x), and not .NET or the .NET Compact Framework, the later which is available on CE.NET.

This is another excellent book from Boling, and is an essential reference for anyone working on CE.NET.

Blame Microsoft, not the author for the very poor marketing terminology used for Windows CE 4.x.

5.0 out of 5 stars The foundation to any CE programmer's library, September 29, 2003

By	Christopher Tacke (Frederick, MD United States) - See all my reviews

Don't be confused by the ".NET" in the title - this book is not for .NET programming (C# and VB.NET), but is for writing C applications for Windows CE.NET (version 4.x).

Boling wastes no time on MFC or C++, but instead provides clear examples of the fundamentals of coding for Windows CE platforms. I'm an experienced CE programmer and I still find myself referring to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Resource, November 1, 2003

By A Customer

This book is the absolute perfect resource for programming Windows CE Devices using C++ and Windows API calls. I started developing software for the Pocket PC using the .NET Compact Framework and found I couldn't do the things I needed to with C# and the Framework. C++ and Windows API calls, as explained by Boling in "Programming Microsoft Windows Ce .Net" has taught me how to program anything I want for a handheld device. The example code is wonderful. Thank you so much for this awesome resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh
This book is old. It has ONE chapter on .NET compact framework, which is what any new CE applications would be programmed in. Don't buy this if you're new to CE. Buy a . Read more

Looks can deceive (title). It's a good book to learn all (almost) about windows CE but it's a pitty that only the last chapter treats a small piece of the .net approach. Read more

This book is awsome! This book is for someone that has a strong C++ background but does not have to have experience with the windows api in order to begin programming on a CE box... Read more
