Very Good Find

Book is straight forward. Easy to read/follow. I had created HTML pages in the past. It was easy to migrate to WML. The scripting discussion (WMLScript) was very valuable.

Good example programs

The book presents working programs you will actually use:Interacting with remote scirpts (Perl, ASP)Validating forms using WMLScriptDealing with limited RAM Error detection and handlingRecommend.

Plenty of working code

I just added this book to my collection of WAP/WML titles.I was pleased with the amount of code this book provides--probably 200+ WORKING programs. I've been able to make all of them work in the phone simulator and on my phone! That's a nice change.If you are starting out, the intro chapters will get you up and running. If you have been doing this a while, cutting and pasting the book's code will save you time with things like interacting with Perl.Recommend.

Complete and easy to use

Got me started within my first application in minutes. Book covers WML and WMLScript in detail. Includes some Perl scripts that let you interact with a remote server with your phone. Pretty cool. Would like to see some PHP -- maybe next edition.

Created Real Applications in a Weekend

Just got a new phone and wanted to build my own Wireless site. By cutting and pasting code from this book, I had my site running in less than a day. Book is very straight forward -- code is applicable to real-world situations.
