Good book for beginners and experienced programmers July 7, 2008
This book is a good book for programmers working on Windows CE based devices. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I think the section on drivers is a little thin.
Native Windows CE programming essentials June 25, 2008
Douglas Boling knows much more than is written in this book. You can say that from reading his MSDN articles and from other people mentioning him in the blogs. Unfortunately, this book tries to cover too much topics without any advanced details.
But I've read through this book in spite of the fact that I initially read this book in 2nd edition and skimmed through 3rd edition in the past. I cannot really like the book because I was expecting that it would split in two parts: user-mode/UI development and kernel mode/system programming.
Still I recommend it to any developer (even working with .Net Compact Framework) to become familiar with Windows CE programming. In fact, there is no other option, this is the only such book and it's quite good.
Good Book but.... April 16, 2008

This is a very good book if you know C++. The indicated SDK that is required to compile, is not available so none of the examples work asis. I would have given the book 5 stars otherwise.
 Very usefull March 22, 2008
In my opinion, it is a very usefull book.
It contains good descriptions of many aspects of CE 6.0, with code example and nessessary details for good insight into underlying principles.
