The book contains the story of a fictitious company, ACME Copier Inc and how their field service operation uses Pocket PC applications to improve customer satisfaction and productivity.

Customer Reviews: Between begginer and serious but lost the focus January 2, 2004 In my opinion this is a book built arround a very good example of an application, but not a book to start with nor a book for the experts. The introduction goes fast jumping from subject to subject without showing a clear direction to teach you either logic, approach, language, conventions or how to better understand the environment (developing environment) The fact of talking about visual basic makes me think instantly that there will be a smooth transition till you are up to speed and then jump to more complex examples, in this book it is a collection of picks and tricks in a messy way in order to prepare you without too much explanation so they can explain "real" application written in VB. Funnily the application itself is very informative and useful but by the time you arrive there there are too many questions running wild on your head and is quite fustrating. Very informative February 18, 2003 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is extremely broad yet contains more sample code than most other books! Really enjoyed the Pocket Service sample! Great content December 31, 2001 3 out of 4 found this review helpful When I picked this book up I was pleased to find useful tools and tips included in both the book and on the CD. The code for the datetimepicker alone pretty much justifies the cost of the book in my opinion. Having the embedded Visual Tools, SQLCE, and the other tools all on one CD is also a good thing.
