"If you're interested in developing for this burgeoning platform, there is no one better able to get you up-to-speed."
-From the Foreword by Rob Tiffany, mobility architect, Microsoft
"Each day it seems that mobile devices are becoming more common and critical to our everyday lives. As more developers target this growing market, the need for a trusted guide grows, and this book provides that guidance. The authors have reached a rare balance in which they provide the core knowledge required to start the journey of mobile development as well as the depth to support a seasoned developer. Every developer building applications for Windows Mobile devices should have this book close at hand to guide them through the challenges and rewards of creating their applications."
-Mike Erickson, principal consultant, Neudesic
"This is one of the most complete technical books available on developing smart-device applications with Visual Studio and the Compact Framework 3.5. It covers many necessary topics, from preserving battery life to communicating with the outside world using WCF and everything in between. Whether you have been developing in the Compact Framework for years or are just getting started, this book has something in it for you."
-Jason Estes, senior software engineer, Itron
"This book arms Windows Mobile developers with the core knowledge they need for building rich business and personal applications. It also gives them great insight into what is going on under the covers, how the platform is unique compared to other versions of Windows, and how to build robust Windows Mobile applications productively."
-Brian Noyes, chief architect, IDesign, Inc.
"This is the best resource I've ever seen for programming the Compact Framework. This book should be on the desk of everybody doing mobile development."
-Rebecca M. Riordan, author of Seeing Data
"With valuable information added to this new edition, Paul Yao and David Durant have enhanced their already invaluable guide to programming for the .NET Compact Framework. If you're a serious mobile programmer, this is the one book you need on your shelf-but it won't stay there."
-Josh Trupin, Microsoft Corporation
"Yao and Durant's second edition of their popular .NET CF book is a much needed update for all developers who want to build apps for the Windows Marketplace for Mobile. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the technology, and it is well suited for both .NET CF beginners and experts."
-Michael Yuan, cofounder, Ringful LLC
