Catch the Smartphone Wave - New Book Teaches the Ins and Outs of Smartphone Development

SEATTLE --(Business Wire)-- Even with the excitement about mobile technology, smartphones, and applications, the need to train the next generation of programmers to take maximum advantage of new technologies is often overlooked. Mobile technology and development is similar to Web 2.0 development, however, there are enough differences and nuances by device, operating system, and form factor that even veteran web developers can be surprised by mobile web development's complexity. A new book written by Gail Frederick and Rajesh Lai perfectly addresses this gap in the market by explaining the fundamentals of mobile web development. Although the book is written primarily for developers that are "dipping their toes" into mobile technology for the first time, expert practitioners will appreciate the detailed instruction for reference and review.


Gail Rahn Frederick teaches standards-based mobile web development in her classes at Portland Community College. In addition, she is the author of the well-known mobile software blog "Learn the Mobile Web" at learnthemobileweb.com. She is also one of the first developers at Medio Systems (News - Alert) (www.Medio.com) in Seattle, where her software has appeared on over 500 different mobile devices and has been deployed at over ten major operators across North America and Europe.

"Beginning Smartphone Web Development: Building Javascript, CSS (News - Alert), HTML and Ajax-Based Applications for iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Nokia S60" is published by Apress and is available on Amazon.com (News - Alert) for $39.99.
