Video Tutorials
Learn more about application development for Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded CE by watching "how-tos": multimedia documentation, designed by the Microsoft Mobile and Embedded Devices User Assistance (MEDUA) team — the same team you count on for conceptual and procedural documentation topics, API reference material, code samples, and technical articles. The MEDUA team has taken their video camera into the offices of top developers, product managers, product planners, and programming writers to record the tips, tricks, and information you need to know about the Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded CE platforms in an integrated development environment. In addition to how-tos, view tutorials on both basic and advanced Windows Embedded CE application development or for previous versions of Windows CE.
