Hi there,
I wanted to ask, has anyone done any programming for the Windows mobile device, such as Pocket 2000, Windows mobile 2002, 2003 only?
I have recently bought a book by Doug Boling - 'Programming for Windows CE .net'. In his book it teaches Visual C++ using the MS embedded software package. It was actually useless, I thought the hardware key buttons would be the same for the device as in Visual basic, but they aren't.
I also have seen another book for pocket pc programming, though this is for gaming. 'Pocket pc programming Using the Windows CE Game API'
Has anyone actually read this books?
I'm not a computer programmer. How ever at some point I may try and give this ago, I'll have to purchase the gaming book which came out in 2001, the other book first mentioned came out in Spring 2003.
My aim is to create very basic space shooter game, and then make it a two player between two devices. I imagine both these books should help me out to do this.
Its shame Visual basic isn't in any books for Programming. I've managed to create a basic Asteroids game for the Pocket pc using it, not quite finished. But its all I know from a video tutorial I have seen, I had think how to get it the way I have it. Ezinvaders was the tutorial clip for VS 2010. I only have access to VS 2003.
Thank you.
