dotMobi Mobile Web Developer's Guide

I am proud to announce we recently posted the dotMobi Mobile Web Developer's Guide on mobiForge.

This is quite a comprehensive guide to mobile web development. It layers on the advice from the W3C's Mobile Web Initiative Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 document, but takes it further. We feel that it is very important to take the base of these best practices and make it more accessible. With this in mind, our developer guide starts by describing the mobile landscape in detail, and the importance of the mobile context.

There are code samples and a lot of useful information. We then go on to describe actual techniques for putting together a mobile-friendly site and how to publish it. This guide is designed for developers who are already familiar with web development in general, but now want to try their hand at mobile. For now, the guide does not cover more advanced techniques such as adaptation, but this will come with Part II

We'd love to hear your feedback. The more useful comments we get, the better the guide will be. You can leave comments directly on the page linked above or post something in our Forum.

The guide can be downloaded from our Registered Users Download Page. If you are not a registered user you can sign up here.
