Roadmap to UP.SDK documentation

UP.SDK documentation assumes that you are familiar with the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) protocol. To get the most from UP.SDK documentation, you should also be familiar with the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and programming languages, such as C and Perl.

UP.SDK documentation includes the following manuals:

• The HDML Language Reference, the manual you are reading now, provides reference information about the HDML language.

• UP.SDK Getting Started Guide provides instructions for getting started with the UP.SDK. It discusses the basics of generating HDML and providing an HDML service. It is recommended that you read this manual first.

• The UP.SDK Developer's Guide describes in detail how to implement an HDML service. It also describes how to use sophisticated UP.SDK features, such as faxing and notifications.

• The UP.SDK Tools and APIs Reference provides instructions and reference information for tools and APIs provided with the UP.SDK. It includes instructions for using the UP.Simulator, as well as reference information on Perl and C libraries that perform operations such as create digests and generate HDML.

• UP.Link browser User Handbook provides instructions for using an UP.Phone. Although it is an end user manual, it is useful for getting acquainted with the UP.Phone interface. In particular, it helps you use the UP.Simulator.
