A different kind of animal

WML (Wireless Markup Language) WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) I have not successfully used this animal yet, but all the elements are there. I have dabbled in wireless communications for quite some time and never found a need to use WML due to the proprietary nature of all the equipment and communication programs. Now I want to venture onto the internet and am going to use my website. This is just for dabbling purposes. So far, the book looks straightforward. There is just a slight terminology and syntax difference from HTML. There is even a “Hello World” application. How appropriate.

Not too little, not too much

I thought this book was great. It struck the right balance between being a comprehensive primer on the topic, having enough detail if you decide you need it and not going into too much detail about stuff that is dealt with elsewhere - like CGI programming or generating pages from languages like Perl. If you want that then buy Leraning Perl or CGI programming on the World Wide Web.

short & sweet book for novice

good handy book to get used to wap terminology & understand wap , wml & wmlscript concepts.
