Pretty good book for a high-level view of the wireless web...
Category Book Reviews
Over the last week, I finished a book called Wireless Web: A Manager's Guide by Frank Coyle. This is a relatively short book (core is less than 200 pages) that covers many wireless subjects at a high level. It's meant for managers (duh!) and executives who want to understand what technologies are involved and basically how they work (without having a reference manual aimed towards techies). Much of the info I either already knew or knew of (such as WAP), but I also learned more about some of the detail surrounding how they work. For instance, I knew Bluetooth was a wireless networking technology to allow devices to talk to each other over a very short distance, but I really didn't know how it works. This book explains it very well for someone who isn't going to be making it their next career... :-)
