Source code for the interactive jQuery Mobile 101 workshop presented by John Yanarella at NCDevCon 2012.
NOTE: Includes interactive code samples (with an integrated code editor and iPhone simluator) that require Google Chrome.
Built using reveal.js and a custom plugin that leverages CodeMirror and <iframe>.
So many devices... so little time. We’ve all heard the hype about how HTML5 enables developers to deliver the same content across the vast and increasingly fragmented array of devices, form factors and operating systems in use today. It turns out that the reality of delivering a consistent user experience across devices, platforms and browsers is much more complicated, time-consuming and costly than advertised. Much of the simplicity and ease that initially made HTML so empowering has been lost.
jQuery Mobile makes the mobile web simple again. Through progressive enhancement, jQuery Mobile transforms the HTML tags you already know into rich interactive touch and gesture enabled experiences that work the same way across all popular smartphone, tablet and desktop platforms.
This hands-on session will introduce you to the unified user interface features provided by the jQuery Mobile framework, including pages, dialogs, popups, toolbars, form elements, buttons and lists; and guide you through combining these components into a working application.
Come see how jQuery Mobile can help you “write less, do more.”
Prerequisites: Basic HTML and JavaScript skills
Required Hardware/Software: Mac or PC with Google Chrome
Suggested Hardware/Software: iPhone or iPad, Android Phone or Tablet
Attendees will not need any special software other than a modern web browser (preferably Google Chrome) in order to complete this hands-on session. All hands-on exercises will be completed in a web browser using focused live examples presented in a split-view (source code + result) format and embedded as interactive slides within a web-based presentation.
