great book...

this was one of the first complete WAP books. The book covers all the begining and advanced topics. I recommend this book to someone with good previous knowledge of web development.

WAP for those who know programming...

For those who know any web based programming languages, this book is for you. It gives you the scoop on WAP and what makes it tick. It presents the basic syntax of WAP in a fairly easy to understand format (put it this way, if you know HTML you practically know WAP). It also has an awesome section on how to integrate it with what you already know (In particular the Cold Fusion section was awesome! I leave it to those who know ASP, JSP, and XML to judge the other pieces). In short, don't buy this if you're just starting web development, I would recommend you learn HTML and one server side language (ASP, ColdFusion, etc.). If you do that, then you're ready to learn WAP with this book and build some truly awesome stuff for the ever blooming wireless world!

Professional Wap? NO, SUPER PROFESSIONAL WAP!

This is a great book in this topic. If you are a beginning WAP programer and you want to understand: .the WAP's architecture .what means the terms WAP GATEWAYS, WAP SERVER, WML, XML .what the difference between WAP SERVER and WAP GATEWAY .what are the relations between HTML and WML (or XML)this book was made for you.Very good!

Good For Start!

I developed small wap application with servlet, 2 months ago. After read this book, you found answers for your questions. But i solved some problem before read this book with little different (spending time!).If you need some information about wap this book better than you try to collect it from internet !

Excellent for WAP Beginners to Advance!

This is my first book on Plain WAP and I found it very easy to use and to read! - I also bought the XML for Professionals by wrox which gave me a very good WML Background.The writing style is absolutely excellent and gives clear tips on code optimization and performance. I have read literally dozens of different books on WAP, and none has been so specific. Although this book is not for total beginners, it is, in my opinion, good for anyone who wants to advance their career on the web or become an WML developer. This is definitely a book you will want to read from cover to cover, and use as a reference!
