The two hottest topics in web development today are web apps—that is, websites that look and operate much like traditional desktop applications—and the mobile web—that is, websites that look and operate much like native mobile device apps. Understanding and building web and mobile apps requires knowledge of both the back end (the server) and the front end (the client). There are many approaches to this, but the most trusted and the most popular is to set up a back end that uses MySQL to hold the data and PHP to read and write that data, to set up a front end using HTML and CSS, and to tie everything together using JavaScript and jQuery.
Using these technologies as the backbone, this book teaches you how to understand and build both web applications and mobile web apps. After a brief introduction that includes setting up a local development environment, you’re taken on a progressive journey that leads through the back end of PHP and MySQL, the front end of HTML and CSS, the glue of JavaScript (with a helping hand from the jQuery framework), and finally into the nitty-gritty of building web applications and mobile web apps.
