I have completed writing the book on developing device driver for Windows CE AKA Windows Embedded Compact. If everything goes right April the book is out.
Hello everyone, Last week I talked about what I have planned for the coming weeks, so here it is. Before we start working with Windows CE let us have a look at what is required for the development. Two categories that we we need to see here are; 1: Hardware:- For this there is really nothing much to discuss since it’s a choice that you will make when you start working with your projects, but for our discussion I will be using ICOP eBox 2300/4300. 2: Software:- Here we will need two tools: Visual Studio 2005 and the Platform builder for CE 6.0 plugin.
