JavaScript and APIs

There’s a lot to know about JavaScript and the APIs of HTML5. So much so it’s not really possible to go over everything. However, there’s a lot we can cover that’s important to mobile development. Many of the things I talk about can be achieved by using a JavaScript framework such as jQuery, which is introduced at the end of the chapter, but first you need to know the basics of what’s under the hood so you can deviate from a framework or fix problems when they come up.
