This will be a BYOL (Bring your own laptop) session. There is a 30 minute intro and then 60 minutes of hands on coding of a mobile app.

Learn how to use HTML, CSS, and jQuery to build mobile applications you can deliver across multiple devices.

Techniques for client-side data storage and data caching will also be covered.
