Customer Reviews

Great technology book

This is a really good book, it's well written and covers WAP depth enough to satisfy your needs, but, who is this book for?, it's for everyone who need to know what is WAP, it's not for a developer wishing to learn WML, in fact it does not cover WML in depth, it only shows it as an element of the WAP technology (as it does with WTA and Push Services). This books covers everything about WAP but for moments more from a commercial perpective than a technical one. As a developer I found a lot of answers, but some chapters where not of my interest (the WTLS chapter is really good, but the chapter on user interface design was a little boring).Overall it's an excellent book to get in touch with the technology.

The Information you need

After reading this book a new world reviled itself to me. WAP is something that's new and someting that is here to stay. If you want to learn someting about WAP... than read this book!
