Reader Reviews:
very disappointing (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book has a sexy title which is probably its strongest selling point. The only real use for the book is as a reference for wml, wmlscript, and (badly) Java servlets. Of course, all of these references (and further tutorials) can be downloaded for free on the web.
The style of writing is boring and repetitive. The examples, again, look good superficially, but when you get down to it are quite different from what their titles suggest. For instance, The Grocery Store Servlet example, is not a system whereby you can browse and purchase your groceries from your armchair (i.e. not a WAP online shop). Rather, it is a essentially a notepad for creating and maintaining your shopping list.
Overall, a big disappointment, which seemed to me as if it was rushed to press to capitalise on a immature market.
Perhaps a little bit thin? (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book is perhaps a little bit thin but it might be a good overview of servlets for WAP. I would recommend you to look for another book if you are intersted in learning about Servlets. I recommend "Core Servlets and JavaServer pages" by Marty Hall.
Great theory book (0/0 people found this helpful)
this books is great if you are looking for a protocol explanation book, if you are looking for learn by example you should look for something else. But i still think that this book should be in everyones bookshelf.
