jQTouch – Mobile Web Apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript
The document discusses jQTouch, a plugin for jQuery that allows developers to build mobile web apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It works by turning regular web pages into touch-friendly "apps" that can be added to a mobile device's home screen. Key points covered include: - jQTouch uses jQuery and adds iPhone-style UI elements and themes - It supports animations between "pages" and touch events - Combined with PhoneGap, web apps built with jQTouch can be wrapped into native mobile apps and distributed through app stores - The presentation demonstrates jQTouch's capabilities and provides information on getting started and further resources
