Reader Reviews:
good quick start - very user friendly (1/1 people found this helpful)
As a novice, I was glad to see that this book didn't plunge me in to the depths straight off and the first few chapter is very easy to understand).
After this, you quickly learn to build a WAP/WML service one step at a time.
The following are expalined clearly:
Differences in the WAP architecture between a PDA's User Agent and an Emulaor (MicroBrowser) used on a PC and beteeen the WAP SDK's, emulators, SDK's, XML and WML Editors etc.
In general, a good reasonably priced start to coding in WML.
Lacks substance. Overly simple examples. Poor. (2/3 people found this helpful)
Disappointingly poor. The discussion of the text is not followed up, as the examples don't actually match up with what was previously discussed! The text reads like a specification, without any further elaboration by providing useful illustrations. What examples there are, are overly simple and dont live up to anything you'd have to produce in the real world. Lacks substance. Nothing is discussed in detail, where the analysis should be carried through, it just isn't. Tricky bits (ie. what we have to know about in the real world) are simply glossed over. Superficial. Save your money.
