Written by learnthemobileweb.com’s Gail Frederick, Beginning Web Development is one of the first, if not the first, books by a major publisher on Smartphone specific application development and mobile Web standards.

The book contains 90% cross-platform development techniques for all smartphone browsers and 10% optimizations for WebKit, Chrome, Palm Pre, Pocket IE and popular third-party smartphone browsers like Opera Mobile and Skyfire.

The success of the iPhone and BlackBerry and the emergence of Palm Pre webOS, Nokia S60 and many more devices currently necessitates the need for this book for the marketplace – the Mobile Web 2.0.
