ASP.NET Mobile Controls: Tutorial Guide: Adaptive Web Content for Mobile Devices

The ASP.NET mobile controls give developers the tools they need to create sites and applications that are accessible from a variety of devices. They are contained in an optional add-in called the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit, which can be installed on top of the .NET Framework. This toolkit contains the controls themselves, plus some additional functionality that can be utilized by Visual Studio .NET for producing mobile applications. This book is designed to cover three areas. The first section teaches the basic concepts of mobile development, and walks the reader through the basics of WAP, WML, and the concepts of devices with limitations in size, memory, screen, bandwidth, etc. The core section of the book goes on to teach ASP.NET developers how to create mobile controls to produce targeted output suitable for viewing on one of these devices. The next section then applies this to Visual Studio .NET, with chapters showing how to do this from within the Studio environment. The book finishes with a case study, collecting the concepts discussed throughout the book into a worked example. This book teaches the ASP.NET programmer all of the necessary concepts they need to understand to be able to competently create applications using these controls.Hadjisotiriou, Costas is the author of 'ASP.NET Mobile Controls: Tutorial Guide: Adaptive Web Content for Mobile Devices' with ISBN 9781861005229 and ISBN 1861005229.
