A short introduction of jQuery Mobile
This chapter by all means is not a full tutorial for jQuery Mobile (or jQM), but it is a quick-start guide for using it with Highcharts. JQuery Mobile is a web development framework for mobile devices built on top of jQuery. It is designed to be compatible across all mobile platforms and the UI look and feel emulate native mobile applications. The benefit of that is low cost development in a single source code without the need for testing across all the mobile platforms and browsers.
At the time of writing, Version 1.2.0 is used in this book. Before we drill down on how Highcharts can be integrated with jQM, a few important concepts need to be understood.
