Summary: Perfect Resource
Comment: 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.

Summary: The foundation to any CE programmer's library
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent book about Windows CE 4.x (CE.NET)
Comment: 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.

Summary: Windows who?
Comment: 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!
