This complete, practical guide to writing mobile websites and applications shows
developers how to build a powerful mobile web presence. Readers need knowledge
of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a server-side language; the examples use PHP, but
are easily adapted to other languages. The book does not use J2ME, but uses
mobiles' web browsers and other standard features with XHTML Mobile Profile
(XHTML MP) and Wireless CSS (WCSS). Examples illustrate each technique, focused
on real-world solutions, pragmatic tips, and fast results rather than theory.
Whether you want to provide website customers with new ways to access your
services, or build applications to keep staff up to date on the road, this book
covers it: adapting content to the capabilities of target devices, saving
bandwidth with compression, creating server-side logic integrated with a mobile
front end, sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages, accepting mobile payments,
and developing voice and touchtone responsive systems.
