JQuery is a javascript framework that simplifies native Javascript language coding. It is used extensively in web development. The feature that makes this useful for mobile web development is the JQm (JQuery for Mobiles) framework. This has a number of features that are appropriate to mobile web development.
The key concept is the page. A page, as delivered to a mobile device, consists of a header, footer and content. The first two can either scroll or be fixed to the screen size. This allows for simple menu items to be added and immediately available. These pages can be combined into a single web-page. So when the mobile requests a site the web-page delivered may consist of many pages, only one of which is displayed at any one time. Navigation between these pages is a local task and there is no need for a network call as the pages were all delivered in the initial call. A complex DOM is used for navigation between pages.
By default links in JQM are AJAX links. The aim is to keep the navigation to anf from the server to a minimum and so data that need not ne re-sent is made available from the local device.
In addition to these two key components of pages and AJAX calls, there is a large array of features that allow a mobile web app to be designed to look like a native mobile application with the familiar interface for the user.
mobilephonetechnology.co.uk is a collection of terms used in mobile phone technology. The aim is to inform the user regarding mobile phone technology. It is our belief that users who have at least some understanding of the technology behind their phone can make informed choices regarding network use, device or app choice thus getting a better service from the phone and phone company.
An informed user can more confidently understand what is being said about the phone or network in the press or retail outlet and can make better decisions. The aim of this site is to provide some information about mobile phone technology to aid the informing of the mobile phone.
2016 was crossover year where over 50% of Internet traffic was driven by mobiles rather than laptops or desktops. The (smart)phone in your pocket is a very powerfull computer with fact connectivity.
The first mobile appeared in 1990 with the aim of providing mobile phone calls. Since then SMS messages were added as a secondary communication medium. The Internet was added in 2001 with the advent of WAP technology. Since then the phones and communications have developed to the modern ubiquitous smartphones of today.
Fast access to the Internet is key to the contemporary mobile phone user. It is needed to support many mobile apps, to deliver fast social media apps and information via the billions of Internet sites. What next? Your guess is as good as mine, but most observers believe that "artificial intelligence" will grow over the next few years.
