Regarding Bluetooth, the best answers you can get are in Geekzone's
Bluetooth Guides at http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449

Regarding WiFi, look at it as a regular network, the main difference is that
instead of cables there is air. So there are some special needs for
protection. Instead of an Ethernet router you will have a Wireless Router,
instead of a Hub you will have an AP, and instead of a wired network card
you will have a wireless card.
