Ouvrage 9781893115934 : WIRELESS WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH PHP AND WAP

The enormous popularity of the World Wide Web can be attributed in large part to the fact that it is a
dynamic, highly interactive medium. As Web accessibility through wireless devices becomes
increasingly popular, developers are challenged to maintain the high level of interactivity and flexibility
that users are accustomed to on their personal computer browsers. Fortunately, this task is not as
daunting as it seems, as the language tools used to create "conventional" Web pages can also be
implemented in the wireless arena. Rischpater's Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is a
comprehensive guide to doing exactly this, illustrating how one of the Web's most popular scripting
languages, PHP, can be used alongside the wireless Web's standard languages, namely WML and
WMLScript, to create truly dynamic and powerful wireless applications.
The Wireless Web is quickly becoming an integral part of any successful organization's informational
infrastructure, with the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) in the forefront to be the leading wireless
standard for years to come. PHP is a wildly popular scripting language used to create some of the
World's most powerful Web-based applications. Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is
derived from the author's years of experience in both wireless development and PHP programming,
showing the reader how to make the most of both technologies to create truly dynamic, scaleable
wireless applications.
PHP programmers will her find the opportunity to use what they already know to create wireless
applications, using concise, applicable examples that encourage readers to adapt the information
discussed within the book to their own projects.
Ray Rischpater is an accomplished veteran of the wireless platform industry, whose
accomplishments include participation in the development of the first handheld Web browser for the
Apple Newton platform, the first handheld Web server, and wireless travel software showcased at the
Atlanta Olympics, among others. With dozens of contributions to the industry's most respected
publications, he is also the author of Wireless Web Development, published by Apress. He graduated
from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Pure Mathematics.
