Read for concept - not detail. Code examples are incorrect.
Suggest skipping this title. Many of the examples provided in the book are just plain out of date, using a version of WML that you won't find in any shipping phone. You might also waste time fiddling with the organization of the book.Suggest getting the docs that come with some of the FREE SDKs (e.g. Nokia, etc.), using the source code examples there. If you must read this, get it from the library.

Informative, but totally unreadable
The documentation is virtually impossible to understand. Sections for WSP, WDP and WTLS use 3 different notations to describe the format of binary messages. When a constant is mentioned it leaves you clueless as to what possible values may be - and so on. However, looks like it's the only source of information on the low level protocols of WAP stack.

To the person concerned about the WAP 1.1 Standard...
Please note, this book was intended and designed to be "version proof". As we stated on the back cover of the book, "As an added benefit, the CD-ROM provides access to a web site dedicated to providing ongoing updates to the WAP specification, in the same custom searchable, indexed infobase found on the CD-ROM." Just load your CD from the book and go to www.wiley.com/compbooks/WAP and you'll find the complete standard, WAP 1.1 waiting for you to download to the CD that comes with the book." So, don't worry, and pull down your updates from the web. Enjoy! the folks at John Wiley & Sons
