Wireless Markup Language (WML) and Wireless Markup Language Script (WMLScript) get the most careful and complete documentation. The coverage of WML here is richer in text than in typical markup language references. The authors have chosen to explain each of WML's smallish set of tags with lots of commentary, code samples, and illustrations, as well as a table that lists legal attributes and their valid values. The WMLScript documentation is less elaborately embroidered on the level of individual functions, but a sizable section on usability and design standards--complete with photographs of various interfaces rendered by different physical devices--more than compensates. Plus, the authors cover push messaging and Wireless Telephony Applications (WTA), subjects that other popular WAP books neglect.
A serious developer of solutions that employ WAP, WML, and their related technologies will already have several books on the subject (including, probably, Professional WAP and Beginning WAP, WML, and WMLScript). This one has earned a place on the shelf. --David Wall
Topics covered: The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) specification (version 1.2.1) and the application-development standards that ride on top of it. Coverage includes Wireless Markup Language (WML), Wireless Markup Language Script (WMLScript), push messaging and Wireless Telephony Applications (WTA). Sections address design and efficiency issues.
This book gives you a complete picture on how to develop and deploy WAP services and integrate them into your existing Web environment. We begin with a background on the mobile Internet revolution discussing market convergence, business issues and potential applications. We then delve into the technical challenges associated with implementing various basic and enhanced WAP capabilities. Throughout the book, we pay careful attention to helping you write WAP content that will work on all devices and browsers.
I believe that we have pulled together a manuscript that is easy to read despite our distance (across continents), differences in writing styles (arising from our language and culture differences), and our busy schedules with full time jobs and families
I hope you derive as much value from using the book as we have had in writing it. I look forward to your comments, thoughts and feedback.
Thanks. Lalitha
