Customer Reviews

Just what I ordered

Kind of dry reading, but has good examples. Very basic stuff, not really geared for newer phones. If you're looking for a starting point, this book might help. Great price!

Well-structured and succinct information delivery

I agree with "hking45" about this book. It has good content description about the basic WAP, WML, and WMLScript concepts. It is well structured. Organization of the chapters and subsections in each chapter is appropriate and pleasant to follow. Sentences are succinct and straightforward to the point. Technical books should be written in this style, in my opinion.

This book was needed

This is one of the better books I have seen on developing wireless applications with WAP. I really enjoyed the layout of the information. The section on WMLScript is one of the most thorough I have seen. I would like to see further information regarding databases, ASP and WAP; but overall a great book.

Great layout for learning wireless

Really enjoyed this book. The writing is clear and concise. The examples are good, and build on each other throughout the book. Excellent read for those getting started in wireless dev, or for that matter find themselves right in the middle of it!
