Jedi,
Are you planning on coding in eVB or eVC? Either way you can goto
PPC MSDN and you can goto the developers section to download the embedded tools. They are free, but you better have a fast connection as they are LARGE.
From here if you are using eVB then try this here
DevBuzz.com or if you are coding in eVC you can try
Pocket Projects.com.
Pocket Projects.com has boards for both eVB and eVC. If you have direct questions post them in here also and I will do what I can. It has been over a year since I have used eVB but I can still muddle my way through things usually.
Have fun!
