Summary: Both Good and Bad
Comment: This book is loaded with great information that is presented in a logical and consistent way.

However it is not up to date. It is written on 1.2 of the spec, whereas Version 2.0 is already out there.

It doesn't cover the mobile version of XHTML, which is in the 2.0 spec as an alternative to WML.

Phone.com no longer exists and I couldn't get any of the examples to work with the Openwave SDK 5.0 Emulator.

If this book were updated, I would buy it.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This book takes you from the basics of XML to WML, the foundation it gives you in XML is so solid that you can begin right away writing or coding to write your WML pages. In three days I'm already using my phone to administer servers remotely!

PD - The UP.Phone simulator is a great choice.

Summary: Head and Shoulders over the rest
Comment: After buying and attempting to use 3 different WML books, I guarantee you that this book is the best among the bunch. The straightforward clear presentation and language, excellent index, and simple explanations make this book a winner. I tried Inside WAP Programming Applications with WML and WML Script by Niskanen and also WAP, A beginner's Guide by Bulbrook. Niskanen's book was extremely confusing and Bulbrook's was OK, but nothing compared to Beginning WAP, WML, WMLScript by Soo Mee Foo et al. If you are getting into WML or a longtime pro, I highly recommend this book as the one to not only explain the language, but also to keep on your desk as THE reference.
