This chapter explains where to obtain these files and how to set up your site in order to use the jQuery Mobile framework.

Creating Pages
Creating a page in jQuery Mobile is a bit different from creating a basic HTML page. This chapter will familiarize you with the basics of a jQuery Mobile framework page and how to work with pages in it.

Adding Content
In this chapter we’ll create the foundation for our jQuery Mobile site. You’ll learn about how jQuery Mobile understands pages by creating and working with content features built into the jQuery Mobile framework as we add content to our various mobile site pages.

Styling Content
The jQuery Mobile framework uses the concept of themes to create the look of the mobile website. This chapter looks at jQuery Mobile’s built-in themes as we add theming to style the various pages and content areas of our mobile site.

Setting Up jQuery Mobile Plug-Ins
The jQuery Mobile frameworks lets you add additional features to your website through plug-ins. This chapter explains what a plug-in is and walks you through adding the PhotoSwipe plug-in to the Travel Adventures website.

Building the Photo Gallery
The Travel Adventures mobile website is going to contain a photo gallery of pictures from various regions of the world. In this chapter we’ll use the PhotoSwipe plug-in for jQuery Mobile to create this gallery.

Adding a Twitter Feed
Our Travel Adventures mobile website should contain a Twitter feed that shows the three latest tweets that have been sent by Travel Adventures. In this chapter we’ll add the Twitter feed to the site and customize it to match our theme.

Final Touches
In this chapter we will put the final touches on the Travel Adventures mobile website. This includes adding icons to all the footer navigation buttons, adding image icons for each website region on the home page, and correcting some other small issues. Once these changes have been made, we will test the website on various mobile devices to confirm that everything is working perfectly.
