windows mobile programming using visual c++ - any good books available?

Question

Hi,

I searched over the net but couldn't find any of the books on visual c++ for windows mobile programming..

can anyone suggest one?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The best (and probably only) book on native development for Windows CE/WinMo is the one by Doug Boling. It's not WinMo specific, but in reality it's a whole lot like programming for "big" Windows, so books for that platform (like Petzold's) are pretty appropriate also.

Answer 2

Just a note (that may not apply): WP7 is using managed frameworks Silverlight and XNA as its chosen way of developing applications. (There may be native frameworks in the future, but nothing official has been announced.) So if you are considering development for WP7 you should learn C# and Silverlight or XNA.
