Very comprehensive
12 July 2001
Format:Paperback
I really liked this book. most of the other WAP / WML titles either just talked about WML or low level-WAP protocols. Thhis book covers key concepts like security and has a lot of code examples. I have even used the JDeck wap library at work. I have never seen anyone use the multi-part MIME stuff with WML before. very cool, bleeding edge stuff.

Another book by this author
4 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Hougland. Another books by the author that wrote JSP for Dummies. This guy rehashes what he learned reading from others. He has no new ideas and just wants to turn out books. Don't buy this book....

Author and publisher should be ashamed - Poorly written!
30 May 2004
Format:Paperback
Apparently some people buy into this kind of work. But I found it to be poorly written and filled with inaccuracies. It appears that no technical reviewers reviewed this book before it was published. A very sloppy book - like a first draft of a book that was never completed.
I was especially disappointed to see the name Prentice Hall on this book. This publisher should be ashamed.
