What people are saying about Building iPhone Apps w/ HTML, CSS, and JavaScript "The future of mobile development is clearly web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Jonathan Stark shows you how to leverage your existing web development skills to build native iPhone applications using these technologies." --John Allsopp, author and founder of Web Directions "Jonathan's book is the most comprehensive documentation available for developing web applications for mobile Safari. Not just great tech coverage, this book is an easy read of purely fascinating mobile tidbits in a fun colloquial style. Must have for all PhoneGap developers." -- Brian LeRoux, Nitobi Software It's a fact: if you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop your own iPhone apps. With this book, you'll learn how to use these open source web technologies to design and build apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch on the platform of your choice-without using Objective-C or Cocoa. Device-agnostic mobile apps are the wave of the future, and this book shows you how to create one product for several platforms. You'll find guidelines for converting your product into a native iPhone app using the free PhoneGap framework. And you'll learn why releasing your product as a web app first helps you find, fix, and test bugs much faster than if you went straight to the App Store with a product built with Apple's tools. Build iPhone apps with tools you already know how to use Learn how to make an existing website look and behave like an iPhone app Add native-looking animations to your web app using jQTouch Take advantage of client-side data storage with apps that run even when the iPhone is offline Hook into advanced iPhone features -- including the accelerometer, geolocation, and vibration -- with JavaScript Submit your applications to the App Store with Xcode This book received valuable community input through O'Reilly's Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS).

Learn the theory behind cross-platform development, and put the theory into practice with code using the invaluable information presented in this book. With in-depth coverage of development and distribution techniques for iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Android, you’ll learn the native approach to working with each of these platforms. With detailed coverage of emerging frameworks like PhoneGap and Rhomobile, you’ll learn the art of creating applications that will run across all devices. You’ll also be introduced to the code-signing process and the distribution of applications through the major application stores, including Research In Motion (BlackBerry), Apple, and Microsoft.

Build HTML5-powered mobile web experiences with the aid of development frameworks that speed the development of Native App-like experiences. Build on your foundation of HTML and JavaScript with a complete understanding of the different mobile Web browser technologies. You get carefully detailed techniques that are illustrated in full color so you can leverage the Web technologies unique to each mobile browser, apply frameworks such as Sencha Touch to rapidly build out your designs, and design techniques expressly suited for tablet devices. Projects provide hands-on practice and code is provided on the companion website, www.visualizetheweb.com.

This hands-on book shows you how to work with HTML5, JavaScript MVC frameworks, and the latest W3C specifications to build mobile and desktop web apps that are widely supported across all browsers and devices. You’ll quickly master building client-side applications with a loosely coupled backend infrastructure that supports offline clients. Learn how to incorporate web storage, web workers, geolocation, Device Orientation, and WebSockets into your application architecture, using real-world examples. If you’re familiar with server-side programming and understand the basics of HTML5, this book is for you. Assemble a coherent architectural whole from HTML5’s complex collection of parts Gain a clear understanding of client-side architecture and the “mobile first” approach Design, create, and tune eye-catching and robust mobile web apps Explore how the top five JavaScript MVC frameworks interact with the server Learn best practices for setting up a raw WebSocket server Examine how sites such as Google, Twitter, and Amazon store data Use real-world methods for applying geolocation, and learn the pitfalls of various implementations Process images and other data in the background with Web Workers

Using jqTouch, an open source solution, is a fast way for you to convert a static Web page into looking like a native iPhone or Android app. In this short ebook find out how you can use the Open Source jqTouch Library to extend the functionality built into jQuery to build Web sites that run on your iOS and Android phones but look and interact as if they are native apps. You will also discover how to create custom interfaces, screen flipping, and set themes with jqTouch.

Es geht auch ohne Objective-C und Cocoa! Wenn Sie HTML, CSS und JavaScript konnen, haben Sie alles, was Sie brauchen, um eine schicke, funktionstuchtige iPhone-Applikation zu entwickeln. Im iPhone-Look&Feel, nur mit Standard-Technologien und unschlagbar einfach. Wer will schon gern bei Null anfangen? Sich in eine neue Programmiersprache und ungewohnte Entwicklungswerkzeuge einzuarbeiten, ist ganz schon muhsam und vollig uberflussig. Nutzen Sie Ihr Webwissen und legen Sie los: Mit HTML5 konnen Sie Daten auf dem Client speichern und Anwendungen entwickeln, die offline funktionieren. Mit CSS bekommen Sie den echten iPhone-Look hin, und mit den richtigen JavaScript-Helfern klappt s auch mit den Animationen. Das Beste aus zwei Welten Wollen Sie den App Store als Verbreitungskanal fur Ihre Anwendung nutzen? Oder mochten Sie, dass Ihre App auf verschiedenen mobilen Geraten lauft? Dann nutzen Sie das Open Source-Framework PhoneGap, das aus Ihrer Web-App ein installierbares Programm macht. Die Vorzuge der Webversion konnen Sie trotzdem nutzen: Testen und verbessern Sie Ihre App kontinuierlich und zeitnah, bevor Sie sie Apples Review-Prozedere uberantworten. Kompakt, schnell, praxisbezogen Jonathan Stark ist kein Freund des Seitenschindens: Er kommt sofort zur Sache und bringt alle in der Praxis wichtigen Schritte klar und strukturiert auf den Punkt. Vermutlich brauchen Sie fur diesen kompakten, praxisnahen Leitfaden nur wenige Stunden, und Ihre Anwendung steht."
