Once all the technologies have been introduced, Part II focuses on how to build mobile friendly websites, with examples such as creating eBooks and web applications. Then, in Part III, both the iOS and Android SDKs (Software Development Kits) are explained in detail, and you are taken through the process of turning your web pages into fully fledged standalone apps for the iTunes store and Android Market - all without having to learn a stroke of Objective C or Java because software wrappers are already written for you and supplied on the companion website.
