Re: PPC C++ Book or tutorial.

Horses for courses though. My apps usually need to be tiny and quick. I've
written stuff in C# and yes, there are some goodies, such as the print
preview thing and some of the graphics stuff, and portability to and from
web/desktop.

Sure, C++ has it's place. In no way if C# some end-all panacea. I still do
lots of C++ work, and often end up mixing the two in solutions. But I've
done enough C++ UI and database work to know that C# is *way* faster for
those things. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and it's the project
and customer requirements that should dictate which gets used.

I especially like the support for serial devices included in the original
.net version :-)

Don't get me started. :) We have an entire library of stuff that we think
the CF should have, but hey, they've got finite resources and time so we
can't expect everything (though serial comms for devices sure seemed like a
no-brainer).
