Description

The mobile Internet builds on a radical shift in the way we work, play, and communicate, extending traditional Internet and Web services to such wireless devices as cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). This book is about the mobile Internet, the technology that powers it, and how to write content and applications for this new environment. It is both a tutorial and a reference for two major audiences: content and application developers, who need clear, technical details to guide their work, and business strategists and service planners, who need to understand what drives the mobile Internet and where it is heading.

"This book is an example of a unique partnership of motivated, technical teammates and would-be competitors coming together to develop a real 'how to' book on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)....The authors are all actively working in the wireless and Internet industry, on the 'front line', helping to develop and deliver services to customers using a new wireless Internet standard....They have produced a WAP reference that will become 'required reading' for anyone planning to create applications, author content, deliver, or deploy services to wireless devices." Gregory G. Williams Chairman of the WAP Forum From the Foreword

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述
行動網際網路建立在我們工作、娛樂和溝通方式的根本轉變之上，將傳統的網際網路和網頁服務擴展到如行動電話和個人數位助理（PDA）等無線設備。本書探討行動網際網路、驅動其運作的技術，以及如何為這個新環境撰寫內容和應用程式。它同時是針對兩個主要讀者群的教學和參考資料：內容和應用程式開發者，他們需要清晰的技術細節來指導他們的工作，以及商業策略家和服務規劃者，他們需要了解驅動行動網際網路的因素及其未來走向。
「本書是由一群有動力的技術團隊成員和潛在競爭者共同合作的獨特夥伴關係的例子，旨在開發一本真正的《如何做》書籍，專注於無線應用協議（WAP）……作者們都在無線和網際網路產業中積極工作，身處「前線」，幫助開發和提供服務給使用新無線網際網路標準的客戶……他們製作了一本WAP參考書，將成為任何計劃創建應用程式、撰寫內容、提供或部署無線設備服務的人的「必讀書籍」。——格雷戈里·G·威廉姆斯，WAP論壇主席，摘自前言
