Build Tomorrow’s Best Mobile/Web Applications with IBM Web Sphere Application Server 8.5 and IBM Worklight This guide presents a coherent strategy for building modern mobile/web applications that are fast, responsive, interactive, reusable, maintainable, extensible, and a pleasure to use. Four IBM experts offer practical, hands-on coverage of front-end development with IBM Web Sphere Application Server 8.5, IBM Worklight, and today’s most popular open source frameworks. Using well-crafted examples, the authors introduce best practices for Mobile First development, helping you create apps that work superbly on mobile devices and add features on conventional browsers. Throughout, you’ll learn better ways to deliver Web 2.0 apps with HTML /Java Script front ends, RESTful Web Services, and persistent data.
