Mobile development is here. Everyone needs apps and mobile websites. But nobody wants to learn Objective-C, Java, C and dozens of different platforms.

Here comes jQuery Mobile, an easy to use, standard and open sourced framework that allow us to create mobile apps in minutes. Compatible with iOS, Android, webOS, Symbian, BlackBerry and optimized for smartphones and tablets, this framework is ideal for any web designer or developer who wants to create mobile experiences.

With this framework, we can create browser-based experiences and webapps and also native apps compiled using hybrids techniques. Therefore, it’s perfectly compatible with store publishing, such as Apple AppStore, Android Market, HP AppCatalog, RIM AppWorld and Nokia’s Ovi Store.

In this tutorial, we will cover:
  • The mobile ecosystem today
  • What is the problem with standards and platforms
  • jQuery Mobile and why you don’t need to know jQuery to use it.
  • Creating our webapps using HTML5 standard code
  • Creating list and AJAX experiences without coding
  • Working with data, maps and geolocation
  • Theming the UI and customizing controls
  • Offering iOS users a webapp installation method
  • Compiling native webapps

Great job on the examples and the “lecture” portions. I was really surprised at the ease with which one can start using jQuery mobile to create mobile accessible pages. I would like to know WHERE we can download the presentation document, though, as I don’t see a link to do so here.

Maximilano did a fantastic job with this session. It had just the right mix of explanation and examples. He was well prepared, but without that static feeling that sometimes occurs when a speaker is overly rehearsed and overly dependent on his script.
