From the early days of simple HTML markup
linking a few pages, to the Web 2.0 collaborative ecosystem, things have matured
a lot. If you come to think of it, we can't expect a world without the Web or mobile
devices today!
Chapter 1
[ 11 ]
You may have done a lot of web programming and might be wondering how you
can develop for mobile devices. Or you may want to add mobile features to your
existing site. This book will teach you all that. Reading through the book, you can
port your website to mobile devices. You can AJAXify your mobile site and integrate
SMS or MMS messaging. You will even be able to accept payments via mobile and
use intelligent interactive voice-response systems. With this book, you can bring web
applications to mobile devices, integrating them with mobile-specific features!
By the way, we are not going to talk about mobile application development. We are
not even going to talk about web application development. You don't need any J2ME
knowledge or C++. All we assume is that you have a basic knowledge of HTML and
some server-side programming technology. We will use PHP for the examples in
the book, but you can easily customize them to any other language.
