Knowledge base for app making

Here are some other methods to create an app, of course the following methods need more technical
knowledge. Mobiroller, on the other hand, is for content creators that don’t want to get involved in
technical mambo jumbo.

jQT, formerly JQ Touch

This is a framework which is fast, easy to setup and has good theming abilities. It is HTML tag based,
meaning that you start with setting up an HTML file for all your pages. The latter are separate & lt;
div> tags within the page. So in fact, you are building a single-page app, but the framework will make

JQuery mobile

Query Mobile is similar to jQT since it is HTML tag-based. Once you have tried jQT, it is easy to pick up
JQuery Mobile. It is also an excellent framework. More recently, after some changes in JQuery Mobile, I

previously. It has great theming possibilities. While both jQT and JQuery Mobile take the HTML tag
approach, there are other ways to proceed but still use Web technologies.

framework then renders this as a mobile Web app for your device. It is a very powerful framework with a
good documentation technology. The only caveat I would point out is that the docs are not always
up-to-date so that some of the tutorials you can find on the site do not work now. Sencha Touch 2 makes
having a single User Interface look at all devices easy, be it on iOS tablets and smartphones, or Android
