Hints and tips for beginner coders..

[Guest Kallisti]

Right.. Well, two tips so far....

1) eVC Sucks in it's ability to deal with resources in this SDK. It can't deal with the lack of afxres.h. The solution I'm using is to copy in newres.h from one of the samples and rename it to afxres.h. That should mean the .rc file that VC++ creates will work fine.

2) A couple of tutorial/websites for you that have SOME relevance. I've managed to get myself started using these, but I am already a programmer, and the first language I used was ANSI C, so I did have a head start...

You can also look into a web site called www.smartphonedn.com - for Smartphone Developer Network. It has a fair amount of good information for those people just starting to program the Smartphone.

Since Smartphone 2002 is a subset of Windows CE, you can get good information about programming Smartphone 200 by checking out the Windows CE books.

Here are some of my favorites:

From Microsoft Press:

Programming Microsoft Windows CE by Douglas Boling

Inside Microsoft Windows CE by John Murry

-- although this can get a bit too detailed for most new

-- Windows CE programmers!

From Prentice Hall:

Windows CE 3.0 Application Programming by Nick Grattan and Marshall Brian

Hope this information helps!
