Комментарий: продолжает великолепную серию - Programming Microsoft Windows CE и теперь раскрываются секретры разработки под новой CE.NET (Windows CE 4.X), но не .NET и .NET Compact Framework, так же вы не найдете ничего и про C# и VB.NET. Упор делается на системное программирование и WinAPI, в очередной раз автор не тратит время на MFC и C++, вместо этого рассматриваются понятные примеры фудаментального кодирования для платформы Windows CE, добавлена информация по Smartphone.
