Best Practices in Mobile Development: Building Your First jQuery Mobile App

10:30 am – 12:30 pm CST WEDNESDAY, February 2nd, 2012

Presenters:

  • Jason A. Clark, Head of Digital Access and Web Services, Montana State University Libraries
  • Chad Mairn, Information Services Librarian/Adjunct Professor, St. Petersburg College; Chief Technology Officer, Novare Library Services

Description:
By the end of 2012, it is expected that more than 80% of the world’s population will have access to a smartphone. Your library users will assume that your library can be accessible from anywhere, at any time, and on any device. Now is the time to be ready! During this hands-on webinar, you will:

  • learn the differences between native and web apps.
  • understand the various technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and how they work together to build mobile web apps.
  • gain hands-on experience using jQuery Mobile to develop a fully functional mobile-optimized web app.
  • have access to a free Web server so you can continue to work/test your project live on the Web.
  • continue to work with Jason and Chad so you can have a mentor during and after your project.
