Summary

jQuery Mobile from Beginner to Mastery takes a zero-foundation approach, guiding readers through hands-on examples and explaining jQuery Mobile development knowledge and practical skills in an accessible way. Part 1, Basic Knowledge, covers the fundamentals and development basics of jQuery Mobile. Part 2, Core Techniques, covers jQuery Mobile syntax, preloading, page caching, page scripts, dialogs, navigation, footer bars, toolbars, tab bars, buttons, forms, lists, and more. Part 3, Advanced Knowledge, covers content formatting, theme design, the jQuery Mobile API, common plugins, and also introduces methods for developing mobile web applications and setting up a development environment. Part 4, Comprehensive Practice, uses two real-world cases—a phone book management system and a tablet reader system—to present a complete jQuery Mobile development workflow.

Editor's review

jQuery Mobile from Beginner to Mastery is a practical guide that systematically explains jQuery Mobile mobile web development techniques. Published by Posts & Telecom Press, the author "Dianfeng Zhuoyue" is not an individual but the pen name of a well-known domestic IT technical book creation team, known for writing clear, example-rich Beginner to Mastery tutorial series. Based on the jQuery Mobile framework, the book comprehensively covers core knowledge ranging from development environment setup, pages and dialogs, toolbars, buttons, and form components to theme design, event handling, and PhoneGap/Cordova hybrid app development combined with jQuery Mobile. The book includes numerous "practical" cases and "exercises" designed to help readers consolidate what they learn through hands-on practice. In the current mobile-first web development trend, although native development and modern frameworks such as React Native and Vue.js are increasingly popular, jQuery Mobile, with its gentle learning curve and good compatibility, remains one of the powerful tools for quickly building cross-platform mobile web apps and hybrid apps, especially suited to scenarios requiring traditional browser support or rapid prototyping. The book's systematic explanation and rich examples offer clear practical value for developers who wish to systematically master this specific technology.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Beginners who want to systematically learn the jQuery Mobile framework and build mobile web apps from scratch
Web front-end developers who need to quickly add mobile interfaces to existing projects and prioritize development efficiency
Technical personnel engaged in hybrid mobile app development who want to use PhoneGap/Cordova with jQuery Mobile
Advanced learners who need mobile UI components and theme customization and want to understand jQuery Mobile's internal mechanisms in depth

Not a good fit for

Developers focused on modern front-end frameworks such as React and Vue, with no legacy project maintenance or technical compatibility needs
Readers who want to delve into mobile native development (iOS/Android) or pursue ultimate performance

Reading tips

It is recommended to read the chapters in order and be sure to hands-on complete the "practical" and "exercise" projects provided in the book to deepen understanding
When reading, consult the official jQuery Mobile documentation for comparative learning and to understand the framework's latest developments and best practices
In the later stages of learning, try applying the book's knowledge to a complete small project, such as developing a simple mobile admin backend or product display page, to integrate what you have learned

FAQ

Is this book suitable for readers with no jQuery foundation at all?

This book mainly focuses on the jQuery Mobile framework, but jQuery is its foundation. The book covers necessary jQuery knowledge, but if you have no foundation at all, it is recommended to first supplement your learning of core jQuery concepts for a smoother reading experience.

Is the code in the book's cases outdated?

This book is written based on jQuery Mobile 1.4.x, whose core API and design philosophy are relatively stable. Although the framework version has been updated since, the book's basic knowledge, component usage, and development ideas remain valid and sufficient for getting started and mastering core skills. When learning, consult the official documentation to learn about the latest features.

What level can I reach after finishing this book?

Through systematic learning and practice, readers should be able to independently use the jQuery Mobile framework to design and develop fully functional web app interfaces adapted to mainstream mobile devices, and combine them with tools such as PhoneGap/Cordova to package them into simple hybrid mobile apps.

About the author

巅峰卓越 Author

Publicly available information about the author writing under the name "Dianfeng Zhuoyue" (literally "Peak Excellence") is quite limited; details such as nationality and life history are not confirmed. Judging from the two works held in the library, Android from Beginner to Mastery and jQuery Mobile from Beginner to Mastery, this byline is mainly active in writing practical technical books on programming and design, with topics centered on mobile development. The two titles cover two common technical routes: native Android app development and cross-platform mobile page development based on jQuery Mobile. Both books adopt a "from beginner to mastery" approach aimed at newcomers and self-taught readers, emphasizing a step-by-step presentation of fundamentals, development environment setup, and hands-on essentials to help readers gradually master the relevant frameworks and tools. Their style follows the format of technical tutorials, stressing progressive conceptual structure and the use of examples so that readers can learn while practicing. On the basis of the available material, it is difficult to determine the author's personal background or further writing activities; readers may regard these works as introductory technical study materials.
