Good Pocket PC Development Book - recommendation please

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer,microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi There,

I am a VB developer new to the world of using and developing on the Pocket
PC. I come across many frustrations. Like often when connected via USB and
exploring the Pocket PC device, all of a sudden I cannot see any files from
my Windows XP Pro laptop.

I'm also doing a project with ArcPad mapping software and I want this to be
the only application that I run on the PDA.

Other things I want to achieve are to change the default browser from IE
because Pocket IE cannot play video files.

Is there a good book that teaches in a concise way the fundamentals of
Pocket PC development so I can understand where the problems come from?

Ideally not a wishy washy book that explain what the buttons do, but one
that is aimed at developers and gives good practical details.

Sometimes I have posted a few questions to this group and not received
answers and I am not sure if this is because PDA development is still quite
a new area or that I still have such a bad understanding that I am not
asking the questions in the right way.

Any comments are welcome.

Kind regards

Dave

Thank you for that Bruce. I ordered the book today. The question I asked
before that never got answered had the following subject

"Custom Web Browser in Full Screen Mode - Is it possible?"
and was posted on the 1st July 04

If you can give me any insight to the answer to this posting then please let
me know.

Kind regards

Dave
