Synopsis

The official guide to programming universal Internet information access for hand-held wireless remote access devices. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is the standard behind the new generation of wireless laptops, personal digital assistants, and other hand-held devices that allows universal access to data. Written with the support and cooperation of the team at Unwired Planet who created the standard, this third volume in the WAP series is the official WAP programming guide. Unwired Planet is the company behind two of the languages used to create the applications, HDML (Handheld Device Mark-up Language) and HDTP (Handheld Device Transport Protocol). Bruce Martin and Peter King of Unwired Planet wrote 80% of the WAP technology and will be serving as Consulting Editors to Mann on this book. It supplies intranet and wireless application developers with the complete, unabridged specification (on CD-ROM) and shows them, step-by-step, how to use it to write one program for all wireless networks, cell phones, and hand-held.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The authoritative programming guide to the WAP standard from the creators of this breakthrough technology

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the key force turning mass market wireless phones into Internet companions. These lightweight, inexpensive smart phones are well equipped for high–quality voice communication, modest–bandwidth (9–14 Kbps) data communication, seamless Internet connectivity, and access to Internet services via built–in WAP microbrowsers. Written with the creators of WAP, this book/CD–ROM package will guide you through the process of creating software for WAP–enabled cell phones and handheld devices.

Steve Mann presents practical tools, code snippets, and complete applications that will help you best utilize WAP. He introduces you to the Wireless Markup Language (WML) that you′ll be able to use to create WAP applications. And you′ll learn about the key features of WMLScript, including the lightweight procedural capabilities and function libraries it adds to WML. Mann also:
∗ Takes you step by step through the process of creating a real–world
WAP application
∗ Describes techniques for optimizing WAP applications
∗ Shows how to create more sophisticated and interesting applications using graphics
∗ Discusses the issues you′ll need
∗ in order to build WAP applications that will work around the world
∗ Explains some of the advanced extensions to WAP
∗ Suggests future directions in which WAP may evolve

The CD–ROM includes:
∗ All the source code from the book
∗ A searchable version of the
∗ unabridged WAP standard
∗ The latest release of Phone.com′s WAP Software Developer′s Kit, containing the tools and documentation required to build real–world WAP applications
