Mobile application developers and their managers need to learn
mobile web technologies because it's in their economic interest.
Time-to-market and opportunity costs are significantly lower for
web-based mobile applications than for native ones.
Desktop web developers at software companies and IT departments
of non-technology businesses need to learn mobile web technologies
to meet the demands of managers who will soon be asking them to
mobilize this web site. These developers will want to do the
minimum work possible to maximize the compatibility of their mobile
web sites. The standards-based approach advocated in this book will
allow them to build gracefully adaptive and portable mobile web
experiences that perform well across mobile browser platforms.
