WEB4LIB Mobile Dev Tools Advice

[William Helman]

When we were starting out, we found "Head First html5 Programming" (
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/706018590) and "Head First Mobile Mobile Web" (
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/744291335) useful.

For what it's worth, we decided that mobile web and not native was right
for our user community, and went with jQuery
mobile<http://jquerymobile.com/>as our html5 framework. We found their
online documentation and user
community to be very helpful. And, it had almost no appreciable learning
curve, assuming you have a reasonable grasp of html to start with. If you'd
like to take a look, we've posted our code to
GitHub<https://github.com/whelman/langsdale_mobile>.
You can also see the final product at http://langsdale.ubalt.edu if you
visit on a phone, or http://langsdale.ubalt.edu/m on a desktop or tablet.
