The Professional Windows Embedded Compact 7,a Wrox book, authors are at it again. We are working on an eBook. The initial release will be chapters as a series of articles online.
When the content us done, an eBook will be made available.
Watch this site for details.
I have been working upon the application development chapters. In my examples I focus upon what you need to do to get an app up and running using the various apis rather than detailed meaty examples. The same app is developed in each case, for comparison. Changes for Compact 2013 are also noted. Chapter titles include:

  • App dev overview
  • Native Code
  • Managed Code
  • XAML for Windows Embedded
  • SDK
  • Database

etc.
