Mobile Web resources
August 30, 2006
Dan Appelquist, who works for Vodafone in the UK, has some comments on a cnet article about the Mobile Web, but Dan includes two great W3C resource links for anyone looking at developing for the mobile web.
Mobile Web Initiative – “The Mobile Web Initiative’s goal is to make browsing the Web from mobile devices a reality”, explains Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the Web. “W3C and mobile industry leaders are working together to improve Web content production and access for mobile users and the greater Web.”
Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 – "This document specifies Best Practices for delivering Web content to mobile devices. The principal objective is to improve the user experience of the Web when accessed from such devices. The recommendations refer to delivered content and not to the processes by which it is created, nor to the devices or user agents to which it is delivered. It is primarily directed at creators, maintainers and operators of Web sites. Readers of this document are expected to be familiar with the creation of Web sites, and to have a general familiarity with the technologies involved, such as Web servers and HTTP."
Dan is also the Vodafone UK rep for the W3C.
