Great introduction and guidebook

I found this book to be very helpful in introducing the emerging world of WAP not just in technical terms, but in the significant and interesting paradigm differences between the wireless market and the established wired web marketplace. As one of the first books on the subject in a field that is very rapidly evolving, there exists the very likely possibility that the information becomes outdated quickly. Apparently mindful of this, the book steers clear from too many 'absolutes' and focuses instead on general 'how to do this' and 'follow this lead' sorts of examples. Very easy reading and clear writing style. Never condescending or elitist, a no-nonsense book for professionals written without pretense. Get this book, get the referenced standards and SDK materials and keep an eye out for updates to the state of the art, and you will have gotten a good primer on developing for this arena.
