Awesome news: Version 1 of jQuery Mobile has finally been released! You know how much we love jQuery—now we have a beautiful mobile extension for it.

We are built on the strengths of jQuery core and jQuery UI and strive to make mobile development efficient, accessible and maybe even a bit fun. To reach the broadest possible audience, we decided from the start to make the framework work on every popular mobile, tablet, e-reader and even desktop platforms by embracing HTML5 and responsive design techniques.

For the newbies: jQuery is a library of helpful tools written in JavaScript (a programming language that runs in the user’s browser). It lets you easily modify the HTML and CSS of a page to make it interactive and dynamic.
