Programming Windows CE

Programming Windows CE is for the embedded programmer who has little if any Win32 experience or has programmed Windows using MFC or another class library.  Students will learn Windows programming from the Windows CE perspective. The class starts with an introduction to Windows application architecture followed by a tour of the basic Windows API with a discussion of how these functions apply to the embedded environment.  The class then progresses to cover areas specific to Windows CE including the internal operating system architecture.

Windows CE Applications and Drivers

Windows CE Applications and Drivers is a class for the experienced Win32 developer that wants to learn Windows CE application development and a touch of device driver development.   This class covers the differences in the Windows CE kernel and how that affects application development.  The class also provides a cursory knowledge of device driver development and how drivers can be developed using the application development tools instead of using the Platform Builder.
