How This Book Is Organized

This book has been carved into four parts to help you focus or reference the section that best suits your level of learning or interest. They are

• Part I, “Beginning jQuery Mobile,” covers the basics, everything from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to building a page using jQuery Mobile. If you are entirely new to the game, start right here, and you’ll be up to speed in no time.

• Part II, “Creating the User Interface,” teaches you about the user interface and how it is styled with jQuery Mobile. This is anything the user is going to see, touch, and use. This part even covers the use of events to help create custom functionality for gestures as well as adjusting the built-in theme manually.

• Part III, “Customizing Your Content,” takes you beyond the jQuery Mobile defaults and looks at adding plug-ins, themes, responsive design, and device detection.
