Mobile development has caught fire in our industry and we all want to be a part of it. Rather than devoting the time and effort to learn Objective C or other platform specific APIs, we can leverage our existing knowledge. jQuery Mobile, in conjunction with Grails, provides a familiar and robust mobile application solution.

The speed of Grails development combined with the simplicity of jQuery Mobile creates the ultimate mobile development platform. This presentation will provide an introduction to jQuery Mobile and the details necessary to integrate this technology with Grails. We will dive into code transforming the Grails scaffolding into a mobile interface.
