What is jQuery Mobile?

jQuery Mobile is a touch-optimized framework for creating mobile web applications.

jQuery is suitable for all popular smartphones and tablets:

jQuery Mobile is built on top of the jQuery library, making it easier to learn if you are familiar with jQuery.

It uses HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and AJAX to complete page layout with as little code as possible.

Why use jQuery Mobile?

jQuery Mobile takes the idea of 'write less, do more' to a new level: it automatically designs a user-friendly interface for web pages and maintains consistency across all mobile designs.

Tip:You do not need to write an application for each mobile device or OS:

  • Android and Blackberry are written in Java
  • iOS is written in Objective C
  • Windows Phone is written in C# and .net

jQuery Mobile solves this problem because it uses only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which are all standard technologies for all mobile web browsers.

Best Reading Experience

Although jQuery Mobile works on all mobile devices, it may have compatibility issues on desktop computers (due to limited CSS3 support).

Therefore, in this tutorial, we recommend that you use Google's Chrome browser for the best reading experience.
