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 PCs. Fortunately, 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. It illustrates 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.

Rischpater's second edition has new coverage of HTML, WAP 2.0, XML, Palm's WCA and iMode in detail and improves the text of the first edition with time-tested information.

Written for professional software developers this book maps out the client-side issues that every Web application programmer needs to know. It provides comprehensive coverage on all aspects of client-side Web development, from the basics of HTML to client-side scripting to XML, XSL, and SOAP. In doing so, Kurata provides an essential balance to the server-side techniques, such as database access and server component development. These client-side techniques enable Web application developers to offload work to the client computer, improving scalability by reducing server requests, while simultaneously offering a richer user experience. To that end, this book is indispensable reading for any software developer interested in up-to-date coverage of the essentials of web development.
