Chapter 4. Animation > With a Little Help from Our Friend

4.1. With a Little Help from Our Friend

I’ll be honest: making a web page animate like a typical native iPhone app is hard. Fortunately, an enterprising young lad from Philly named David Kaneda has written a JavaScript library called jQTouch that makes mobile web development a whole lot easier. jQTouch is an open source jQuery plug-in that handles virtually everything we learned in the previous chapter, as well as a boatload of much more complex stuff that would be truly painful to write from scratch.


Note:

You can download the latest version of jQTouch from http://jqtouch.com/.
