If you want to attract and retain users in the booming mobile
services market, you need a quick-loading app that won’t churn
through their data plans. The key is to compress multimedia and
other data into smaller files, but finding the right method is
tricky. This witty book helps you understand how data
compression algorithms work—in theory and practice—so you can
choose the best solution among all the available compression
tools.
