Microsoft Mobile Development Handbook

For those of us developing for mobile devices here's at long last a new book that is up to date with Visual Studio 2005 and NET Compact Framework v2.0. There also some coverage on v3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 (referred to as “Orcas” in the book). Amongst important areas such as networking, security programming, threading, exchanging data with back end servers, custom controls and interoperating with the platform the book also notably delves into (the extremely neglected!) area of mobile graphics programming and Direct3D mobile.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to all with an interest in mobile developing like myself, its up-to-date nature (the only book to date with Visual Studio 2005 coverage!) makes it worthy of purchase alone but the content is very commendable anyway.

It can be ordered, amongst other places, from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Mobile-Development-Handbook-Pro/dp/0735623589.
