Abstract
jQuery Mobile is a new, simple to use, UI framework for building cross-platform Mobile Web applications. In a matter of minutes, you can create mobile applications (apps) that are optimized to run on nearly every phone, tablet, desktop, and e-reader device available today. That’s right, with a single jQuery Mobile codebase we can create a unified experience for nearly all consumers. jQuery Mobile is an ideal framework for any Web designer or developer who needs a simple framework for creating a rich mobile Web experience. The experience also extends beyond the Web. jQuery Mobile apps can also be compiled with hybrid techniques for distribution within your favorite native app store. As we begin our journey, let’s review the important features that make jQuery Mobile unique.
