This is the first complete Windows developer's guide to leveraging the power of Windows CE 3.0 and future "Windows-powered" devices. Leading Windows CE developer Chris Muench teaches Windows developers all they need to know to build CE 3.0 applications fast. Start by setting up and mastering the Windows CE 3.0 "Rapier" development environment; then, walk step-by-step through building a robust CE application that utilizes COM components, integrates with Windows 2000 and other Windows desktops, and even provides Internet connectivity. Along the way, developers will learn how to design CE user interfaces, support printing, storage, and remote access; synchronize with desktops via the latest version of ActiveSync; incorporate graphics and audio; even integrate with Pocket Outlook.
Chris Muench is Siemens's technology ambassador to Microsoft. There, he works closely with the Windows CE development team, bringing Windows CE technology to Siemens as well as providing feedback from his own company to Microsoft. In this position, he has access to the latest Windows CE versions, devices, software development kits, and compilers. 0201616424AB04062001
