        Resources for learning about Windows CE

        Windows CE development team member Sue Loh has posted a blog entry summarizing recommended books and other resources to help developers learn about Windows CE internals, APIs, and more. Loh's Windows CE reference list includes books, companies, newsgroups, and links to key locations on Microsoft's website.




        "I wish we had the Windows CE equivalent of the deep Windows Internals books written by Russinovich and Solomon. But we don't," Loh laments.

        She continues: "There is an old book, Inside Microsoft Windows CE, which I believe was Microsoft Press' attempt to take the same type of look at Windows CE. But it was written about CE 3.0; it was hot off the presses when I started working at Microsoft back in 1999. Needless to say, it's a little outdated now. I heard a rumor years ago that MS-Press refuses to do another revision because that book didn't sell enough copies. I don't know if that's true. Anyway, it's probably still not a bad introduction for a newcomer; many of the concepts in that book are still the same in Windows CE today. Plus you get the added bonus of seeing pictures of some people who now don't have quite so much hair."
