WAP 2.0 Development Review

WAP 2.0 Development
Average Reviews:

The title of this book is a blatant lie.
NOWHERE in this book does it cover WAP 2.0.
In appendix A, it clearly states the book is only about 1.1!
It covers the 1.1 version, which is now out of date.
Chris Tull is not to blame - he covered 1.1 wonderfully;
it's the publishers who were afraid of losing $$ that need to be very ashamed. Black eye for Que on this one!
Don't be fooled by the 4 star rating; 4 of 6 are duplicates!

This book is a comprehensive tutorial that is logically organized, up-to-date, and includes coverage of the most popular wireless programming language, WML.Readers create a working application, developing examples that build from one chapter to the next. With each chapter readers are learning, practicing, and building on required skills necessary not only for wireless development, but also programming in general. By the end of the book, readers will have created a wireless database application that allows them to view, enter, and delete information.The book provides a usable reference of summaries on all languages discussed within the book, as well as a comparison of the wireless devices, and different development tools on the market today.Chris Tull writes tutorials and technical articles each week for AnywhereYouGo.com to help developers further their expertise in creating wireless applications. An application consultant and freelance writer, his writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Texas Technology, inquiry.com, and Managing Automation. He is also an active member of the STC (Society of Technical Communication).Chris has been involved in emerging technologies since mid-1990. Early in his career, he worked at Caver-Morehead Systems, where he was responsible for the integration of DBMS systems for companies such as Hewlett-Packard, EDS, and Texas Instruments. He also produced technical documentation for the company.

WML & WMLScript: A Beginner's Guide Review

It's a good start, but it does go very slowly. You need to supplement it with WAP Integration immediately afterward if you want to get into any really advanced aspects of WAP. Experienced developers may even want to jump straight to the WAP Integration book.

This book is a great deal, not only do you learn about wireless web development, you also get to learn PHP which for those who don't know is an excelent open source language for developing rich web sites. It also touches on the basics of using MySQL for the backend. Full of excelent examples that get expanded as you go.

The enormous popularity of the World Wide Web can be attributed in large part to the fact that it is a dynamic, highly interactive medium. As web accessibility through wireless devices becomes increasingly popular, developers are challenged to maintain the high level of interactivity and flexibility that users are accustomed to on their personal computer browsers. Fortunately, this task isn't as daunting as it seems, as the language tools used to create conventional web pages can also be implemented in the wireless arena.

Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is the result of author Ray Rischpater's years of experience in both wireless development and PHP programming, and shows you how to make the most of both technologies to create scalable wireless applications. You'll also learn how to use MySQL with PHP to serve wireless content as you review examples drawn from real-world wireless applications. In addition to tackling the wireless Web's software development challenges, Rischpater examines equally important but often overlooked issues such as user interface design and optimizing wireless sites for presentation on today's screen phones.

Practical WAP: Developing Applications for the Wireless Web (Breakthroughs in Application Development) Review

Practical WAP: Developing Applications for the Wireless Web (Breakthroughs in Application Development)

In my 5 years of information technology experience, both in the private sector and within academia, I have not read a better contextualized presentation of technical material than this book. Chapters 1 through 4 provide an excellent overview of important topics and set the context for the more technical information to follow. The WML language chapters (5,6) and the WMLScript chapter are perhaps the best synthesized language reference chapters I have read in a book not singularly devoted to the teaching of a particular programming language.
The practical nature of the book is a refreshing approach to technical writing. The sections on design, architectural and testing considerations are straightforward and usable by both a detailed-oriented audience (e.g. those who implement) and to a higher-level audience (e.g. solution specialists and those who manage). Additionally, the application development case study suits is very clear and well organized and builds very well upon the chapters that preceded it. I highly recommend this book for those who are either implementing WAP-enabled services or who wish to upgrade their knowledge on the WAP front.
