The instruction is clear, though mostly on "how to" write a particular app without much insight as to "why" jQ Mobile is structured the way it is and nothing at all is said about how complex CSS tags are built; they're just cited and used.

The course also relies on older versions of jQuery and jQmobile. It's not worth using current versions of these libraries, unless one wants to spend a lot of time figuring out what changed in the new versions so as to get the App to appear as intended.

This was pretty decent course. I was meant for a beginner, but you will be able to understand all the inner workings of jQuery Mobile.

Guys, this course is amazing. Well you need to be skilled in jquery, css and html but if you want to take the next step to the mobile world this is the right place where to start from. I really have a clear picture of the subject just after one our and did not need to get back to any lesson after watching it. Thanks! Great! And the price!

The course files provided in the download are out of date. Plus after looking at other students who have had issues with the demo not working I notice there are no responses from Infinite Skills. 6 - 10 months ago was the last reply to a question regarding updating this course.
The reply from Infinite Skills was "We may update this course in the future" Really? Why continue to offer a course that is out of date? I understand that this course may not be a major deal for you but as long as people are paying for this course. It should either be updated regularly or at the very least inform anyone considering this course that it is not using up to date jquery files. Also without feedback when there is an issue with something that doesn't work it appears the course provider has abandoned this course. I've purchased several courses from Udemy but this is the first one I decided to get started with. I really hope the other courses are up to date and supported by the course creators. I think I will refrain from purchasing any more courses for now. I'll try the free courses as I'm not feeling very confident about making future purchases.

This is a good worked through example of jQuery for mobile devices. I like the fact that photoshop files were provided to give a feel of the entire workflow on other projects as well.

This was a great introduction to Jquery Mobile. The speaker Chris Converse has a great style and he explains as he builds so that it is easy to follow along.
