Mobile Web Development with HTML5 provides an overview of developing mobile web applications using HTML5. It discusses using HTML5 features like semantics, offline storage, device access and multimedia that are supported across mobile browsers. It also covers concerns for mobile development like screen resolution and memory constraints. JavaScript frameworks like jQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch are presented as solutions for touch-optimized interfaces. The document recommends HTML5 features and modern web standards for building accessible mobile web sites.

Hunter Loftis discusses building mobile apps using HTML5. He recommends first considering whether the app could be built natively or as a hybrid app. If using mobile HTML5, he provides practical guidelines including using micro libraries, limiting DOM updates, storing data locally, keeping code asynchronous, and embracing features like geolocation. The key is to aim low, debug on devices, and have fun building the mobile app.

Diego González discusses Samsung's continued support for progressive web apps (PWAs) through their web browser.
