Kurzbeschreibung
Mobile Web Development shows you how to build a mobile presence for your web applications and sites. It covers targeting different mobile web browsers, sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages, accepting mobile payments, and developing voice- and touchtone-response systems. This book is for web developers who want to provide mobile support for their applications. The book assumes some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The reader should also know a server-side language. The examples in the book use PHP, but can be adapted easily to other languages. The book does not use J2ME, focusing instead on using the phone's web browser and other standard features.
Synopsis
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.

Excellent introduction to mobile web programming
22. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a quick and effective introduction to developing websites specifically targeted at mobile device users. I say "users" for a reason -- one of the strongest advantages to the book is a strong focus on considering your user and their needs as a key element of mobile web development.
My overall reaction to this book was positive. It covers a wide variety of key issues for mobile web programming in an easily understood manner. The book is targeted primarily at developers who already have some experience at web development and design, so it doesn't delve into any serious detail when it comes to server-side programming or HTML coding, but instead makes a point of emphasizing places where the mobile web is different from internet interaction on a desktop device.
Mehta goes out of his way on many occasions to emphasize the serious importance of considering who (and what!) will be using your mobile web application.
"Any website accessed from a mobile device is mobile web -- whether it's been tailored to work on a mobile or not!" (Mobile Web Development, Nirav Mehta, page 10)
The book covers a wide range of issues -- from developing for mobile devices using a "lowest common denominator" plan to implementing highly dynamic mobile applications which adapt automatically to the device currently in use. The text is easy to understand and follows a logical progression, starting with the mobile web development practices which are most similar to the development of standard web applications before moving into the areas which are very specifically targeted towards mobile devices.

covers several topics for cellphone apps
26. Februar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Mehta instructs about coding for cellphones, covering topics ranging from GUI development to accessing a database server.
If you already have experience writing GUIs for desktop or web applications, then the GUI part of the text should be dead simple. Of necessity, there is a severely constrained graphic environment on the cellphone. It is good, in the sense that you don't have much to learn, and almost certainly, the complexity of your GUI should be low. Of course, the tradeoff is this very constraint. You are very limited in the images and widgets you can display. Back to basics, one might say.
Hopefully, you'd have dealt with database schema and designs in other contexts. The text's coverage of this is somewhat abbreviated. Enough is given for the book's main example to be nontrivial. But this is not a database book; just keep it in mind.
Payment is a no-doubt germane issue for some developers. The text describes how eBay's Paypal can be used for billing purposes.
The other interesting topic in the book is a brief explanation of Interactive Voice Response systems. Since after all, the user can talk into her cellphone. Just as for databases, IVRs have their own complexity, hinted at here.

Awful book
23. April 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Ugh. An awful book. Way outdated. Don't bother. This was a total waste of money. Worth 50¢. I cannot recommend this book.
