Mobile development is a hot item. Customers
are buying iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and many other mobile
computing devices at an ever increasing record pace. Devices based on
iOS and Android are nearly 80 percent of the marketplace. RIM continues
to be dominant in the business area across the world. Nokia's growth
with Windows Phone will grow on a worldwide basis. At the same time,
clearly web development is a tremendous driver of applications, both on
the public Internet and on private networks. How can developers target
these various mobile platforms with web technologies? Developers can
write web applications that take advantage of each mobile platform, but
that is a lot of work. Into this space, the jQuery Mobile framework was
developed. This eLearning series will provide an overview of mobile web
development with jQuery Mobile, a detailed look at what the jQuery
Mobile framework provides for us, how we can customize jQuery Mobile,
and how we can use jQuery Mobile inside of ASP.NET.
