Preface
This book is the ideal companion for web designers and developers wanting to create mobile experiences using jQuery Mobile.
jQuery Mobile has appeared in the market to solve one problem: dozens of mobile platforms and browsers and the need to create compatible interfaces for all of them.
This book requires just basic knowledge of HTML (any version), and basic JavaScript is helpful for the last chapters. The reader doesn't need to understand HTML5, JavaScript, or jQuery to use most of the jQuery Mobile framework and the contents of this book.
