There is no live instructor for this course, so it might not be appropriate for students who require the guidance of a live instructor.
Course overview
In this 2-day, web-based course, you learn how to develop mobile web applications with IBM Worklight Studio, a plug-in for WebSphere Developer Tools (WDT) for Eclipse. You also learn how to deploy the applications to an IBM Worklight Server running on a WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile.
The course covers applications and adapters, and looks at security issues such as user authentication and how to protect sensitive data that is held on a mobile device. Other topics include notification of updates, globalization, and the various JavaScript frameworks that you can use.
In addition to the lectures and demonstrations, you can download optional sample applications for further study.
