Overview

The UCLA Mobile Web Framework facilitates the development of a robust, feature-rich, cross-platform mobile web presence. Focusing on mobile web standards, semantic markup and device agnosticism, the framework enables developers to create mobile-styled web applications with relative ease of use.

The rapidly changing mobile device landscape presents one of the greatest challenges for the mobile developer. In the past, developers have had to address these differences individually. This has added enormous overhead to the development of mobile applications in terms of scope, resources, and budget- both upfront in development and implementation, and later, in maintenance and upgrade cycles. The UCLA Mobile web Framework allows developers (including Universities) to avoid detailed device-by-device planning, implementation, upgrades and maintenance and all their associated costs, and instead makes real the promise of "develop once, use everywhere" by providing a simple abstraction layer whereby the framework itself makes device-by-device determinations freeing the developer to develop.

The documentation included here covers principals of the framework, tutorials and the API for implementing it in mobile applications, and systems documentation for installing and managing the framework itself.
