isCOBOL Mobile allows to bring COBOL code on mobile devices. The goal is to reuse the existing backend COBOL logic as well as sequential, relative and indexed files (in JIsam format) on a mobile application while the UI is rewritten using a HTML5/CSS3 UI Framework such as jQuery Mobile or Dojo Mobile or Sencha Touch.

The code described in this book takes advantage of JQuery Mobile for the UI. You can find documentation about JQuery Mobile at http://view.jquerymobile.com/1.3.0/.
