Mobile web development is quickly becoming a popular skill, with increasingly high mobile and tablet adoption rates. With minimal effort the jQuery Mobile framework helps developers create a mobile web experience.

The jQuery Mobile framework is a JavaScript library that can be used to create a mobile version of a website. The framework takes existing web pages and converts them into touch-friendly websites and applications. The jQuery Mobile framework is arguably going to change the way mobile applications are accessed and distributed on mobile and tablet devices by allowing users to connect directly to touch-friendly applications through a web browser. This also means that web developers will no longer have to create native applications (or applications that run in the computer environment) for multiple mobile platforms, which will make development easier to maintain, frequently update and distribute to existing users. Mobile and tablet device adoption rate is skyrocketing and the jQuery Mobile framework is allowing developers to meet the growing demand for mobile web experiences.

The book will teach readers step-by-step how to get started, how to write code and how to ultimately create mobile websites using the jQuery Mobile framework. However, the book will also be used as a reference that readers can come back to in order to get answers for specific questions that may come up during development with the jQuery Mobile framework. The book will be hands-on, with code examples (with corresponding on-line demos) and activities throughout. The appeal of this book is also the growing popularity of mobile and tablet devices that are demanding more mobile web experiences. Lastly, the book will cover the latest version of the jQuery Mobile framework, where existing titles cover already outdated versions.
