Publisher Microsoft Press is about to release the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/5960.asp">Core Reference book</a> on the .NET Compact Framework, used in Pocket PC and Windows CE application development. Two other books that you should not miss are:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590590953/jasondunn-20">"The Definitive Guide to the .Net Compact Framework"</a>, by Larry Roof<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1893115712/jasondunn-20">"Mobile .NET"</a>, by Derek Ferguson and David Kurlander<br /><br />Here are some paragraphs about the Microsoft Press book: "This comprehensive reference provides developers with the information they need to develop new applications or move existing applications to handheld devices and other resource-constrained hardware. It offers specific techniques for writing mobile applications, including developing GUI elements using Web Forms, transferring data using XML Web services, working with local and remote data sources, and developing applications that can operate in a disconnected state from the wireless network. The book illustrates each technique with working code samples in Visual Basic .NET and Visual C#™ .NET. It also includes a quick reference appendix showing the differences between the .NET Compact Framework and the full .NET Framework."
