Reviews for Beginning Smartphone Web Development: Building JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Ajax-based Applications for iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Nokia S60

'It is so refreshing to read a book about primary teaching that takes the child, and learning and teaching as its focal points. So often books in this area are so impersonal with their focus on subjects and raising standards.' - Paul Lunn, Northumbria University, UK
