Hey there,

the best software to use for programming for windows ce is visual studio pro 2003 or higher.

you need to have the pro version of vs2003 in order to have smart device programming capability

Once you have this, you have two choices of launguages to develop in for the handhelds VB.Net of c# for the compact framework.

since you've done java, c# is basically is sister and the syntax is very very similar.
then again vb.net is not that much different.

.Net is Object oriented so again you ll have knowledge of this from java.

so its a matter of picking vb or c# to develop in.


just a point to note, is that most open source example come in c# for the handheld.
