I bought this with the intention of taking a class that uses this as a text book.
That is the only valid reason for buying a book like this...since it's very shallow, and if you don't own a copy of Dreamweaver, just forget about it.
Everything in this book is geared towards using Dreamweaver, to the point where you can't really follow it if you're a notepad coder.
But that isn't what has me turned off to a degree that I will shun Wiley Publishing...the book advertises a bonus chapter - fine, but it's not in the book. You'd think it was online. None of the websites mentioned in the book leads to the bonus chapter. I write to Wiley Support.
And this is where things go wrong.
I ask about the location of the Bonus chapter and after filling out A LOT of personal information (why do they want my phone number and alternative e-mail addresses for a simple question - if not for turning customers away) the answer I get is that it is on their regular website. The one I looked at and found no reference to any bonus chapter. I ask three more times, without getting any answer that indicates anything but a scripted answer.
I send them another strongly worded mail (I just wanted to knwo the answer to a simple question!!) and get a "we're working on your problem" form mail. That was 1½ week ago...when I write back asking what's happening, all I get is silence.
This book is NOT worth all that hassle!!

Topics Covered Thoroughly
18 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Granted, several technologies are not covered in this book, but then the title and descriptions do not advertise that they are covered. The title touts HTML, JavaScript and CSS for mobile development, and those topics are covered thoroughly with great everyday examples. You can't buy a book on baking cakes and then complain because you didn't learn how to bake pies.
This book covers a very wide topic from several angles. It covers how to create mobile Web pages and Websites, which is what it claims to do. It teaches you how to take your rudimentary HTML and CSS knowledge and apply it to mobile pages and sites--which is what the book claims it's about. It also covers a great deal about WebKit, using JavaScript for mobile sites, and where to find additional help. It is an entry-level book, and doesn't claim to teach you everything there is to know about mobile site development in a Dummies book with 480 pages.

Good starting point - beware of typos
16 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good introductory text for someone who doesn't know where to start building a mobile web page. There are, however, more than a couple of typos in the code examples (though not in the code downloads themselves), so that could be a source of frustration. I have learned more than I expected to from this book, however. I appreciate the extra tips for Dreamweaver users, but I can see how others might not. I am also not seeing a bonus chapter, though a previous review drew my attention to it in the Table of Contents.

This is a great book and I am one of the lucky ones who is taking an online Course with the Author and William Harrel is a great guy - I recommend this book to anyone interested in Mobile Development.
