Summary

In this chapter, we set up a local development server using XAMPP, and we installed an IDE to use for the book with Aptana Studio 3. We looked at the different ways you can download jQuery Mobile for local use in your project and then you saw how we can use it from the different CDNs, along with the advantages and disadvantages of using a CDN. Once all the basic setup was completed, we created our first jQuery Mobile project.

In the chapter that follows, we will take a look at the different tools and techniques that will help us not just in the development process, but also help us test our application as we develop it.
