Intuitive

I did not have embedded system experiences and win32 programming experiences (I'm coming from Unix server community), when I got this book and began reading before I knew I would get embedded system development assignment, I rated th book as one star, and stopped half way. After I engaged in embedded system (although not around win CE) I begin to feel the taste the book contains. It let me understand how decision vs market is balanced which no other Internal book can provides.However, if you are purely interest in win CE for your programming need, you may find the way, the book was written is disorganized and not an efficient way to find answer.

Good In-depth architectural reference for CE

I have a hard time agreeing with the negative reviewers of this book. I think that Murray addresses the important issues in CE; namely the key architectural differences between CE and the other Win32 platforms. As for a programming reference for CE, well CE uses Win32. There are plenty of great Win32 programming references on the shelves right now that can be used. Adding yet another targeted to CE would be a waste of Murray's time. Furthermore, at the end of every chapter are references to where the user can find the programming references that they were looking for.

Fantastic, detailed description of Microsoft Windows CE

This book is especially well suited for newcomers to CE. It guides you through everything about the OS with the right level of detail and at a pace that doesn't bore you. This book, contray to some of the other opinions expressed here, is very, very good. It may not be the book that you want in terms of your programming needs, however, I strongly recommend that EVERYONE getting involved with Windows CE first read this book. It lays out a foundation that allows you to become a better developer. There isn't a bunch of code samples, API reference pages and other pure programmer "stuff", so if that is what you're looking for, think of Doug Boling's Programming Windows CE book...but do not miss this one just because it doesn't have a ton of code. It is truly refreshing to read a book that TALKS about the OS and explains the DECISIONS behind its evolution *before* jumping into code. Please take the time to understand the embedded world and just how fantastic Windows CE is before you start stamping out apps. This book isn't for the OEM who wants to know every step needed to build their version of the OS, but it is for everyone who wants to know more about the world of Windows CE. It is perhaps the best book I've read since "Exploring Java" in 1996. CE is exciting in the way that Java was exciting. "Exploring" conveyed that excitement and so does "Inside CE". I have no connection with the publisher or author. I just like to let people know that they are missing an excellent book if they belive that one star does this book justice. There are millions of books, not all are what you want exactly. Do not prejudge this one. Read the author's comments about what this book IS before deciding what it IS NOT. If you like the theorectical world, if analysis and problem solving are your thing, you'll love this one even more. It is a very quick read and fun. Do it because you love the subject content, not because you want to stock your shelf with another HOWTO.Take Care.Rob!

Excellent book gives details about what's Inside WinCE

The book is very good. It is exceptionally well, written (I only counted a couple of minor typos), and it gives you the ability to identify with the designers of one of the coolest OSs to come along in a long time.
