Essential wap for web professionals

Essential WAP for Web Professionals offers no-nonsense, practical introductions to the key elements of WAP systems, and the key techniques of WML/WMLScript development. It also contains complete WAP server-side applications built with four leading tools: ASP, Perl, JSP, and Servlets -- all viewable and downloadable on the Web. The authors demonstrate how to set up a WAP development environment, then introduce the key network, software, and hardware modules that comprise WAP. They cover the most commonly used WML elements, attributes, variables, task and event elements; show how to use graphics effectively in wireless applications; and present practical techniques for maximizing WAP security. The book concludes with a preview of WAP's future -- a future of richer content, and more interactive applications.

For every wireless developer, and for every Web developer who wants to get involved with wireless development.
