Description
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) continues to be the driving force behind the integration of the Internet with mobile phones. But while developers are increasingly expected to bring the WAP standard into the corporate and consumer markets, there are no models or arrays of sample programs they can draw upon. This book/CD package seeks to deliver the examples and guidance developers and IT professionals need to take advantage of this technology.
