If you are a developer of internet sites you may soon find yourself and your colleagues developing WAP sites. Investing in getting familiar with the (im)possibilities of WAP (or more specifically WML and WMLScript) now can give you the leading edge in the future. WML and WMLScript are not difficult to learn if you already have experience with HTML and JavaScript. Developers’ tools are available as we speak (e.g. Nokia’s WAP Developer Toolkit). Building wap applications WAP applications can, just as web applications, have static or dynamic content, or a mixture between both. Static WAP content (information that is not updated very often) is written in WML (similar to HTML). Dynamic WAP content (database stored information, for example news, stock quotes, timetables etc.) can be generated with CGI, ASP or JAVA servlets. For more advanced task, comparable to those solved by using JavaScrip in HTML, WAP provide a similar solution called WML Script.
