Course Overview:
In this course, you learn how to use the Dojo JavaScript mobile framework to build mobile web applications.
JavaScript libraries, such as the Dojo Toolkit, can detect web browsers that run on mobile devices, and deliver a customized version of the website that is suited for the smaller screen size. Custom widgets and style sheets provide a layout that matches the user interface of the devices.
The course begins with an overview of the Dojo framework for mobile development, including the various libraries and widgets that you can use. You then learn about the mobile web application features that Dojo provides for creating lists and views on mobile devices. The exercises in the course help you build your mobile web development skills by covering topics such as importing Dojo libraries and working with dojox.mobile widgets and themes.
