Everything is going mobile. If you’re starting a web business today
without a mobile strategy,
or if you have a mobile strategy but it isn’t the
center of your business, you’re going to have a hard time gaining any sort of
traction.
Ever since Apple released the browser engine behind its Safari Web browser
as open source, WebKit and the mobile web have been joined at the hip. In
the last few years, WebKit has advanced the state of the art for the Mobile
Web by aggressively adopting new web standards, such as HTML5 and CSS3,
and by pushing the performance of existing standards like JavaScript.
By itself, WebKit is interesting. When combined with the mobile Web, it’s
powerful. When it’s the heart of almost every smartphone browser coming
out today, it’s revolutionary. That’s what this book is about.
