jQuery Mobile
Makes mobile development less painful
Why use jQuery Mobile?
- Community-developed, but with corporate backing
- Open source (dual licenced MIT or GPL v2)
- Free in beer (gratis) and as freedom (libre)
- Use what you already know for Web development (or should know) — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Why you may want to skip on jQuery Mobile
- Mobile Web browsers are horrible
- No single point of distribution/easy monetization
- JavaScript is awful
