Course description
jQuery Mobile is a framework for building mobile web applications. Unlike other frameworks it builds upon the web skills that you already have making it easier to learn and use. jQuery Mobile adheres to web standards which allows your site to be compatible with nearly every mobile device. In this course you will learn how to use jQuery Mobile to create your own mobile websites, how to give your site a unique appearance using the ThemeRoller, and we will show you debugging techniques to ensure that your site is deployed problem free.
Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
Prerequisites
This course assumes that the users have a basic knowledge of web programming with JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Knowledge of Java or other web-based programming languages is not required.
