Product Description

Book Description

The ASP.NET mobile controls give developers the tools they need to create sites and applications that are accessible from a variety of devices. They are contained in an optional add-in called the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit, which can be installed on top of the .NET Framework. This toolkit contains the controls themselves, plus some additional functionality that can be utilized by Visual Studio .NET for producing mobile applications.


This book is designed to cover three areas. The first section teaches the basic concepts of mobile development, and walks the reader through the basics of WAP, WML, and the concepts of devices with limitations in size, memory, screen, bandwidth, etc. The core section of the book goes on to teach ASP.NET developers how to create mobile controls to produce targeted output suitable for viewing on one of these devices. The next section then applies this to Visual Studio .NET, with chapters showing how to do this from within the Studio environment. The book finishes with a case study, collecting the concepts discussed throughout the book into a worked example. This book teaches the ASP.NET programmer all of the necessary concepts they need to understand to be able to competently create applications using these controls.



From the Publisher

This book is for anyone who is developing applications for mobile devices using the .NET Framework. Experience of ASP.NET is required, along with experience of using a .NET-compatible language, ideally VB.NET or C#. Essentially, the prerequisites for this book are that the reader has worked through Beginning ASP.NET to the level where they are confident about creating ASP.NET applications. A brief refresher of the basics of ASP.NET will be included in this book, but the complete novice may find this too advanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars gets the basics right and builds on that in a clear format, 20 Mar 2002
This book is both clear and concise. It is a book that you really can read every page, and do every example, and gets results quickly. It starts off by showing you how to find and install the various toolkits for mobile programming (Microsoft alone do not have a monopoly here, so you need to get the various nokia, and openwave toolkits etc.) Then they take you through the first program, and configuring your whole system to get the emulators to work. These are the sort of important points that would stop you continuing otherwise, whereas these guys made the effort to put it in.
Then from the simple program right through to some complex applications, they develop through the core skills you need in order to be able to program mobile devices. They use a tutorial guide, so each chapter has the same style, and these build on previous examples. The only thing that could have been included is more information on setting up IIS mime types, and some more discussion on what a WAP gateway is. However, strictly speaking you didn't need that to continue with the book.
All in all, after having read it and gone through all the examples, and playing around with variations to learn the differences between the phones, I feel I am a competent mobile device developer in asp.net.
A really good book.
