WAP Integration

By 2004, more people will access the Internet from wireless handheld devices than by personal computers. With this explosive growth in mobile communications, it’s more critical than ever for companies to develop a wireless Web presence for visibility and/or m-commerce. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the driving force behind this exciting new technology. Srdjan Vujosevic and Robert Laberge, two wireless Internet experts, explore WAP and provide you with an in-depth tutorial as well as numerous sample applications (not just programs) that will help you learn and develop your own WAP applications. They also take you beyond the basics to introduce you to what will possibly be the future of WAP and wireless technology. These powerful tools will help you use WAP to satisfy your own business needs.

Offering the guidance and examples necessary to take advantage of WAP, this hands-on book:

• Explains how WAP can be integrated into any web presence or legacy system
• Contains an up-to-date WAP technical tutorial that details the latest developments in the field
• Provides over a dozen sample applications that can be customized to meet your needs
• Introduces VoiceXML with a fully functional sample application
