Voice Application Development with VoiceXML

Rating:
Summary: Not what I was looking for.
Review: This book isn't a good book to use if you're looking to develop VoiceXML applications. This book delves too far into proper software engineering and doesn't give enough information about the VoiceXML standard (doesn't touch vxml 2.0). I wish I would have purchased the wrox version that covers voiceXML.

Review: This is an outstanding book with useful information and clear explanations. It doesn't just cover the VoiceXML spec but also shows you how to use it in IVR-replacement systems and other real applications. If you really need to build stuff with voicexml then you need this book. You can tell in reading the book that these authors have *actually done* voice application development and aren't just guessing at how it ought to work. I'm looking forward to the online voicexml 2.0 appendix, too.
