WAP and WML Resources

I found Beginning WAP, WML, & WMLScript by Wei Meng Lee, Soo Mee Foo, Karli Watson, and Ted Wugofski (Wrox Press, 2000) extremely useful in the writing of this chapter. You may also want to check out Learning WML and WMLScript: Developing the Wireless Web by Martin Frost (Anonymous, 2000).

There are a number of great WAP and WML resources online:

• WAP Forum
