Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is transforming the humble mobile phone and Personal Digital Assistant into universal information and communication tools, which can emulate a PC as a terminal for browsing information on the Internet.
The Net-Works Guide to WAP and WML gives you a glimpse at the potential for this exciting new technology. It then proceeds to give you information on everything from why WAP is important to everyone with an interest in the Internet and how it all works, through to mobile-content issues and creating your own WAP sites.

The author, who works at the very forefront of this rapidly-developing technology, guides you gently through the process of developing your own WAP site in Wireless Mark-up Language or WML. From the all-important opening lines through to intermediate scripting, Pete explains:

* How cards and decks are created,
* Important aspects of syntax and delivery,
* WMLscript and how to use it,
* The software you need to test your site,
* What free toolkits are available to help you create your site, and
* How to go about publishing the site.
Worked examples are given along the way to aid comprehension.
