jQuery Mobile

What do you like best?

I am great general full stack programmer, but I know very little, next to nothing about building phone apps. I built a web app, AccountBlaster, added in JQuery Mobile, and was amazed to see that all of a sudden, it worked perfectly on phones and tablets (in chrome)!! Obviously mobile functionality is so essential right now! And I didn't have the capability to make it work any other way. Thankfully, JQuery Mobile is free, readily available, generally well known, and worked perfectly and easily to fill the need! You just include it at the top of the page, just like JQuery, that's it. And it just works. That was my experience anyway. See it in action, at AccountBlaster!!!

What do you dislike?

There is nothing to dislike about it! One tiny tag at the top of your html file and you have mobile functionality built right in to your web app, simple as that! See it in action, at AccountBlaster!!!

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you built a web app - and you wound up using JQuery UI - put JQuery Mobile in too - and your app will work on mobile devices!! What a gift! Thank you John Resig!!

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Without JQuery Mobile there would be no tap-drag interface for AcountBlaster. You'd just go there and wonder what to do - as it is - you can drag the numbers around and make transactions. It's really neato. I would have had to spend a lot more time in development building a phone app in addition to the web app if it were not for JQuery Mobile. As it is, to this day, I just go to AccountBlaster to get my accounting done, even if all I have is a tablet, and it works so smoothly! You can too! Search AccountBlaster!!! (There's an 'AccountBlaster Free' link - use that one!!)
