Great Book!
Review written by: Chuck Biggs From SLC, UT USA
Very easy to understand. Mr Liming provides all the tools (or lets you know where they can be procured) that you need. This book fulfilled my needs perfectly where I am developing an embedded processor on a device with flash memory as the boot and disk drive.

Very helpful and well-structured

This book, along with the online documentation at MSDN will get you up and running with your Windows XP Embedded image. And the book is applicable as a first book also. The author is a very responsive contributor on the MSDN (and, I think, other) web forums. Since the book was written the practice of importing your .pmq file into Component Designer instead of Target Designer has become the preferred practice as the author, himself, has stated in the web forums.

The CD material is now available through the author's website.

Supports XPE SP2 - New Toolkit Available
Review written by: Sean D. Liming From San Diego, CA USA
I have been asked a few times already about this book and support for XPE SP2. Windows XP Embedded advanced is still a good starting point for those getting started with XP Embedded SP2. All the XPe development basics are in this book, and the steps are good for SP1 and SP2. There is a new toolkit (Windows XP Embedded Supplemental Toolkit) available that covers the new SP2 features and other topics such as EWF API .NET programming, USB Flash boot, security, HORM, etc. There are a few new tools that also help with development. See my websites for more information: www.seanliming.com or www.sjjmicro.com

Great Book
Review written by: D. Ingrey From Manchester, NH, USA
I purchased this book after spending days trying to find information about Embedded XP on the web, before reading this book I was struggling to get a working XPe image. The book arrived and by the next day I had the image booting and running.

If you need to create images as I did that run on Flash memory then this book is a requirement. Everything is explained in a detailed way and the common error message section has saved me hours of work trying to find out what is wrong.

Great Book

Excellent Purchase and worth the money
Review written by: kevin From Reno, NV United States
Having been a programmer for 20 years or so, I have a solid background regarding computers, and computing systems. However when faced with using XPe, it was a matter of learning the development studio and tools ASAP. This book did just that. Within 6 hours of recieving the book, I had my first XPe OS in the target system running. This book is a "hands-on" adventure that reads well; it's not too simple that it doesn't get you where you need to be, yet not so techi intense that it puts your to sleep. My complements to Mr. Liming on a job well done!
