Hello,

I've been developing programs mainly in Delphi. When I got my first
PocketPC, I started Embedded Visual Basic, because on my old Pentium
90 machine I already did some VB (for Windows 3.1 ;-)

So far, so good. VB is easy and simple. But one big disadvantage is
that I still need the runtimes, although all controls are already
integrated in Windows. Who understands that!? And on a PocketPC I
don't want to spare those more than 2MB. Additionally, C exe-files are
quite faster than the VBs.

Now here's the question:

I compiled the "Hello World"-Tutorial ;-)
And although there are some comments in the source, the code looks
absolutely cryptic to me with all the functions that have those long
and funny names. I need some good Tutorials (not what Microsoft
offers; building this small Hello World and that's it) or a good book
that guides me through the development of - say - a larger program. So
that I can learn step by step by trying (first program structure, then
creating windows including the resource script for he dialogs, then
event handlers, filling the controls and so on). It would be even
better if these tuts fit especially to PPC.

Thanks a lot in advance.
