February 14, 7:12pm: You're sitting at the most exclusive bistro in New York City. The proverbial huge client is 20 minutes late. Wiping the sweat off your brow, you email his secretary, desperate for information regarding his status. Afterwards, you decide to pass a few nerve-wracking minutes searching your personal database for that perfect bottle of wine. As you wave in the direction of the sommelier, you check the evaluation of the hot IPO you purchased just this morning.
Strange place for a computer, you might say. Much less for Internet access, sitting at the table of a restaurant. But it's not a computer. It's your cell-phone. And you have the Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) to thank for it.
WAP is soon to revolutionize the way we communicate, do business, and play with one another. As devices continually emerge with the promise to make our lives easier and ever more organized, WAP and the Internet will play an integral role in doing so. This article will concentrate upon the traits responsible for this phenomenon. I will also touch briefly upon the history of the standard, the major players involved, and how you can learn more about building your own WAP applications in no time.

Additionally, several resources will be provided for those interested in delving into the details of the language.
