How to use jQuery Mobile to create web apps for iPhone?

I was assigned to create a web application for the iPhone, and I had to try jQuery Mobile for development, as it supports many platforms.

  • Is PHP a requirement for building iPhone web applications?
  • What other ways to create an effective web application are similar to native applications?

PHP is not a requirement. I am currently using jQuery Mobile + PhoneGap to create a "native" application. Effectively, it’s a browser or web view embedded in the thin shell of an application.

If you need true UI source elements, you can also try the Titanium Appcelerator .

Personally, I found that Appcelerator will be a bit slower to develop. Every time I change a user interface element, I would have to wait 30 seconds to deploy it to the emulator and see if it worked. With jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap, I can do most of my user interface work from a browser.

PHP is not a requirement for building iPhone web applications. You should be able to use any desired programming language in the background. jQuery should work without using specific technology on the server side, since it runs on the client side.
