Book description
It’s widely predicted that mobile phones and tablets will
overtake desktop PCs as the most common Web access devices within
the next two or three years. Adobe is responding to this dramatic
shift by focusing on new tools to develop websites for multiple
platforms with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In
particular, Dreamweaver engineers have been working closely with
the developers of jQuery, the de-facto standard JavaScript
framework, to develop jQuery Mobile. This is a new JavaScript/CSS
framework designed to create websites and applications that work
consistently in all major mobile platforms, including iPhone,
Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian (Nokia). This book explores in
depth the integration of jQuery Mobile in Dreamweaver, together
with other new features aimed at building websites that work across
multiple devices.
Using a series of practical examples, the book will show how to
optimize an existing website for display in desktops, tablets, and
mobile phones, using CSS media queries. Readers will also learn how
to create a dedicated mobile site using jQuery Mobile. Although
Dreamweaver will generate much of the necessary code automatically,
the book will explain the structure of jQuery Mobile websites and
web applications, so that developers can go beyond the basics to
add custom functionality and design features. The book will also
utilize the core jQuery framework, demonstrating how the new jQuery
code hinting in Dreamweaver CS5.5 speeds up the development process
for experienced developers and acts as a learning aid for those new
to jQuery. Readers will learn how to convert a jQuery Mobile web
application into a native app (that can be loaded on an iPhone or
Android device) using PhoneGap, another open source
framework.
