2.0 out of 5 stars VoiceXML for very beginners, Dec 12 2001

By

jean triquet (Tres Cantos, Madrid Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The VoiceXML Handbook: Understanding and Building the Phone-Enabled Web (Paperback)

The book is a general overview of telephony application and a thin introduction to VoiceXML. It covers important matters in a very rapid and unprecise way. It contains even errors in the examples.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so informative., Sep 19 2001

This review is from: The VoiceXML Handbook: Understanding and Building the Phone-Enabled Web (Paperback)

I can find more information on the internet on this subject than reading this book. In fact I turned to the internet while reading this book for answers to the questions this book failed to answer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very informative
As a VoiceXML developer, I looked forward to this book. I was disappointed. Too much time was spent speculating on Version 2.0 and not enough time explaining Version 1.0. Read more
