3.0 out of 5 stars Meh
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2007
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 .NET compact framework book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Windows who?
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2003
I bought a book once entitled "Programming in C++". As it turned out the book didn't have one ounce of C++. It was devoted entirely to C. "Programming Microsoft Windows Ce.Net" is the same story. There are no mention of classes or another other aspect of object oriented .net programming. The book spends all of 5 pages discussing the CLR. No. This book should have been entitled "Programming Windows 3.1". Oh. Oops. That book is already out there, so get that one instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book.
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2004
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. If you know the windows API a lot of this book might be review. The book also does not go into a lot of depth about the architecture of windows CE. It also only skims over sections about bluetooth, smartphone, pocket pc and other technologies that you may want to use on your ce box. Along with this book you will probably want a reference book specifically on Embeded studio and on whichever technologies you are using. For the price and the coverage this cant be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about Windows CE 4.x (CE.NET)
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2003
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars .net and CE
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2005
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. So if you are interested in learning windows CE in using the last visual studio 2005 beta this isn't the book need !

5.0 out of 5 stars The foundation to any CE programmer's library
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2003
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.
