Description
In this book, Mark Beaulieu gives IT professionals the working understanding of wireless they need to begin designing wireless software and content effectively.KEY TOPICS:Beaulieu begins by introducing the wireless Internet, its key concepts, and the trends, forces, organizations, and technologies shaping it -- including emerging technologies such as i-Mode, Bluetooth, HDR, SDMA, GPS, LBS, 802.11a. Next, you'll learn how to create -- and optimize -- wireless applications. You'll walk through building applications for each of four mobile wireless devices: a Web phone, handheld, pager, and voice portal. Beaulieu demonstrates how to construct messaging, browsing, interactive, and conversational voice portal applications, presenting application code and mobile content applicable to today's full range of hardware and wireless networks. He even provides sophisticated algorithms for building tomorrow's exciting location-based applications. Beaulieu then introduces the principles of wireless architecture, learning how to make key architectural decisions, and how to build back-end servers that support multiple wireless clients. A Resources and References section brings together valuable resources, ranging from an FCC spectrum allocation "tip sheet" to Soundex encoding information for wireless text messaging.MARKET:For all wireless application developers, and for all IT and Web professionals planning or considering wireless applications.
