Reader Reviews:
Good, but misses out crucial networking issues. (7/7 people found this helpful)
... The first half of the title is fulfilled introducing the reader to various WML and WMLS language elements. The remaining practicalities of getting a real phone to see your WML page on your computer or web site are almost entirely forgotten.
The book scantily mentions the requirement for a web server. It does not discuss what the web server is for. It does not discuss the other components in the network between the phone and WML page. It does not discuss issues such as the limitations of the different gateways used by the mobile network providers.
The book is full of punctuation and typographical errors. Finally, the most useful component of a technical book is missing - an index!
