Good book for beginners

Good book for everyone who want to start development using Microsoft Platform Builder 6.0 and Windows Embedded CE 6.0. This book is good point for jump start. You can use it as excellent guide for development tool. If you want to get deep knowledge about Windows Embedded CE internals then this book is not for you.

Good, sharp introduction to Windows Embedded CE Development

This book is a "must have" for developers who need to get a good introduction to the Windows Embedded CE developement process. The chapters are following the process one has to do when creating a Windows Embedded CE solution. I recommend this book to all development managers who need to understand what has to be done when doing Windows Embedded CE business. The autors are providing additional book links which I recommand to read before starting a project.

Good introduction to CE development environment

It's about time a book like this was written. Imagine that you are an experienced developer who has been assigned to move a driver from the desktop to CE or that you want to transfer a maintenance CE project to another experienced engineer. What is the fastest way to get up to speed on the build environment so that you can actually get to work on your code? The answer is definitely NOT to read the Microsoft documentation. The Windows CE build environment is a hodge-podge of many different files, registry keys, tools, and sequences. Save yourself months of frustration and get this short book which will probably answer all your questions. And with the chapters on the CE architecture you will be up to speed on the platform in no time. The only reason I can't give the book five stars is that, for me, it is a little short at 240 pages. Some more of the unique debugging tools available for the platform could be covered (and the value of the shared source should probably be highlighted more, possibly in an appendix), and the book would feel more complete. With their knowledge of CE and straightforward writing style I only hope we see a second edition (or more books) from this writing team.
