3.0 out of 5 stars A little bit outdated. 2 Jan 2011

By Nuno Paquete

Format:Paperback

The book is really good, but I expected it to be more framework 3.5 centric.
It's a little bit outdated, we already have Visual Studio 2010 but the book is too much oriented to Visual Studio 2005, at least I expected VS2008, this way I'm not sure if already are better practices to do the same job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure WindowsMobile/WindowsCE .net compact development 6 Feb 2013

By Maciej Lisman

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Read that book twice 2008 and 2010. None of pages is wasted. Authors don't waste time on explaining c#. Their focus is .net compact 2.0, how it was improved and things which make mobile development simpler, last chapter is about 3.5 net compact. If you didn't read this book you were never true .net compact developer

By K. Algan

Format:Paperback

Good source for your programming. Not for beginners though. If you are from scratch look around for some light programming resources before this one.
