Research - Interactive TV

Whilst searching for examples on interactive TV the most contemporary example would be from the BBC where during sports events you can actually switch between football matches or even switch to different performance stages during music events.

Research - Mobile Web Design

Trying to research what kind of markup languages are mainly used for mobile web design.

So far the most common formats seem to be,

• WAP
• WML
• XHTML and HTML mobile

I found some more information on these markup languages at,

W3School seems to have quite an extensive tutorial library on WAP and WML,

http://www.w3schools.com/wap/


This might be the perfect source to start coding in WAP and WML. It also looks like that WAP and WML use the same coding principles as HTML so it should not be too difficult to start coding in these markup languages as also stated in this quote from w3schools.com,

WAP homepages are not very different from HTML homepages. The markup language used for WAP is WML (Wireless Markup Language). WML uses tags - just like HTML - but the syntax is stricter and conforms to the XML 1.0 standard.

WML pages have the extension *.WML, just like HTML pages have the extension *.HTML.
