Here is the definitive guide to programming the Windows CE API-now in its third edition, with details on how to use Windows CE .NET to design high-performance applications for smart devices.

The indispensable guide to writing clean CE applications, including real-world tips, techniques, and workarounds. Microsoft's Windows CE operating system is quickly finding its way into a wide variety of information appliances like Handheld and Palm-size PCs, television set top boxes, smart telephones, and electronic books. Robert Burdick gives you a thorough tutorial for programming the essential features of Windows CE. Using a complete sample application, each chapter provides comprehensive coverage of the programming techniques required to take advantage of a specific Windows CE feature. As Windows CE continues to evolve into the industry standard for information appliances and mobile computing platforms, Essential Windows CE Application Programming will prove to be your most valuable programming resource. Inside you will find: * A look behind the curtain at the architecture of the Windows CE operating system. * Programming building blocks like Windows CE controls and dialog boxes. * In-depth insight into the desktop connectivity features of Windows CE. * Complete coverage of Windows CE persistent storage programming. * Custom user-interface programming. * Lessons for programming Windows CE at the API level. * Extensive samples of Windows CE application code. On the CD-ROM you'll find: * Source code for all sample programs in the book.

If you're interested in developing for this burgeoning platform, there is no one better able to get you up-to-speed.”

Handheld PCs are just the start of a whole new generation of communications, entertainment, and mobile computing devices running the Windows CE operating system. This book shows developers how to use their knowledge of C/C++ and the Win32 API to build, debug, and run applications for Windows CE on their current desktop systems. The CD-ROM includes a fully searchable version of the ""Windows CE Win 32 Reference"" and more.

Leverage Windows development experience to start building Windows CE 3.0/"Windows-powered" device applications fast. Muench shows how to master Windows CE by building a real-life sample application from start to finish. The CD-ROM contains all source code plus tools, helpers, and redistributables for evaluation including DeviceCOM, InstallShield for CE, the Microsoft Installer SDK, and the latest versions of ActiveSync.

Windows CE is the version of Windows specifically developed for handheld PCs and other small devices. Out concurrently with the new release of CE2 and the first appearance of Visual Basic for CE, this title meets the demand for handheld application development.

""Inside Windows CE"" offers conceptual frameworks that can help developers understand their design options. Having the ability to pick and choose the smallest set of needed OS modules allows OEMs to use memory efficiently. The book includes a series of real-world case studies of new platforms based on Windows CE to demonstrate its wide-ranging flexibility. This will be a very popular book for developers working with Windows CE.
