This book is a must have because the author has a more than passing knowledge of the Windows CE architecture, and he does a very good job of explaining the details that one must know when writing Windows CE applications. While this book is primarily C/C++, the operating system information is valid for other languages as well. Anyone writing software for an embedded system should understand the system architecture and therefore its limitations.
I suppose that the book covers application programming for Windows CE well, but honestly I am not an application programmer so I only use that part of the book as reference material.
I used to have the previous editions of the book on my shelf as well, but they have all disappeared and are now on somebody else’s shelf now.
In the interest of full disclosure, I do know Doug Boling. We bump into each other about once or twice a year at conferences. But I was reading his books before I met him.
