Customer Reviews

Great book on using win32 API in windows CE OS

Note that he doesn't claim to cover GUI programming. It is great in its explanation of thread synchronization, accessing drivers, and differences between CE and desktop Windows.

Great reference but not for beginners

This book is a great Windows CE reference. The material and examples are comprehensive, clear and concise. But do not use it as an introduction to eVC++ because there is virtually nothing on the user interface or the basics of MFC. If you are a C++ or VC++ programmer, and you want to become functional in a hurry with Windows CE 3.0, I strongly recommend it. Also, unlike a previous reviewer, I found the author to be very responsive to questions.

Great Book for Win32 Programmers

I've found this book to be very handy, it covers many different sections of WinCE programming and is a great reference book. Its not a book your going to read from cover to cover, but its the one your going to grab when your sitting in front of your latest WinCE app and something isn't compiling correctly. As for WinCE 3.0 support, I haven't had a single problem getting any of the demo code to work on ANY WinCE 3.0 device.

Services

This book is all about backend services, on the back of the book itself it says that it goes BEYOND UI programming. It mentions how to use MFC to call the required APIs but it is NOT a WinCE MFC book.Definetly recommend this book to anyone who has ALREADY known about MFC and Win32 programming, and want to get up to speed with what services are available for WinCE

Excellent Book On Window CE Programming

This is a really excellent book on Window CE programming reference. Especially this book includes a lot of new feature of Window CE 3.0. It's a great help for my work related to GPS, TAPI, RAS, Socket and Serial Communications. Mr. Nick Grattan and Marshall Brain are really smart person and great authors.
