Developing with Windows Embedded CE 6.0 - A Practical Guide
The economic and technical benefits of moving to Windows CE are compelling, but for a development team used to working without an OS, or with a commercial RTOS, or with no 32-bit experience this can represent a steep and daunting learning curve, full of unfamiliar concepts and jargon.
As a Microsoft Embedded Partner, Join Tech is well experienced in guiding inexperienced engineers along the Windows CE path. Starting with a broad-based examination of what Windows Embedded is (and isn't), covering target microcontroller choices and hardware development matters, this course quickly homes in on the all-important issues underlying platform development, and using real examples provides a comprehensive technical overview of the development process.
Using Microsoft tools, including Platform Builder and Visual Studio 2005, in conjunction with a real development kit, this live-demonstration based course does not use simulators or x86 hardware and is therefore representative of a real development scenario.
