Title: HTML 5 & CSS3 frameworks for mobile application development
1HTML 5 CSS3 frameworks for mobile application
development
Presented By iCoderz Solutions
2- There has been a lot of buzz about HTML5 and the
potential it has when combined with CSS3 and
JavaScript. The use of frameworks which bring
these three technologies together simplifies the
development process and enables developers to
create compelling web apps more quickly.
In this Presentation we will look at some HTML5
and CSS3 frameworks that can be used to create
mobile websites and applications.
3DHTMLX Touch UI Designer
Just when I was thinking that the term DHTML was
finally dead, along comes DHTMLX Touch, a free
HTML5-based JavaScript library designed
specifically for the creation of mobile web
applications that work across platforms. As an
HTML5-based framework, it comes with a complete
feature set of User Interface widgets, as well as
- Form Widgets
- Grid Widgets
- Video
- Menu
- Google Maps
- Group List
- Popup
- Confirm
4- If you've ever worked with JavaScript and/or HTML
frameworks before, you know that they don't
usually come with a WYSIWYG tool that you can use
along with the framework to create apps. They
rely upon you working your way through the
examples, taking bits of code that you like and
editing it to suit your needs (i.e. old school
hacking). - That's the case with DHTMLX Touch, except that
they also provide an online Visual Designer you
can use to create your app by dragging-and-droppin
g components onto mobile App layout, and setting
each control's properties through the same visual
interface. Don't expect a Dreamweaver-like
interface here, but it's still much easier than
hacking example code. Here's what it looks like
To Be Continued
5- Landscape and portrait layouts are both supported
for iPhone- and iPad-sized screens, as well as
custom sized screens. Once you are done creating
an app using the Touch UI Designer, you are able
to save it to your computer
so you can later move it to your web server, edit
it, etc. Apps created with DHTMLX Touch (and the
UI Designer) will work on the iPhone, iPad,
Android and standard WebKit-based browsers such
as Chrome, Safari and Firefox 3.6 and later.
Keep in mind that DHTMLX Touch, unlike other
DHTMLX products, is completely free for both
non-profit and commercial application
development. You can use it in your own
commercial apps without paying a cent.
6The iCoderz Solutions
- The iCoderz Solutions, which may be short for
Multi-Platform, Mobile, is another open source
HTML5 and JavaScript framework that allows
developers to create cross-platform mobile apps.
Unlike DHTMLX Touch, - the iCoderz Solutions comes with Expresso, a
build tool that is based on Node.JS. Installing
Node.JS isn't a simple one-click process, but now
that Microsoft is working to create a Windows
version of Node.JS, there won't be a requirement
to install it under Cygwin, a Linux-like virtual
environment used to run Linux applications on a
Windows OS. Until that comes to fruition, you'll
have to work through the documentation and set it
all up.

sample To Do List application looks like
852 Frameworks
The 52 Framework is an HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
framework that was created by folks from the
Enavu Network. It is a full-featured collection
that allows developers to create web apps that
include HTML5 video, shadows, rounded corners,
that use CSS3 selectors, the HTML5 canvas element
and local storage, and that feature HTML5 form
validation.
Like the others, the 52 Framework is provided as
a zipfile download that contains a directory
structure that makes it easy to find specific
examples and sample code. You can see the full
demo to try out the features of the 52 Framework
yourself. Like the others, you can try out the
examples live on your computer once you have
downloaded and unzipped it, and you can hack and
edit the examples to suit your needs.
