This week on our panel, we have Joe Eames. JOE:  Hey everybody. CHUCK:  Jamison Dance. JAMISON:  Hello. CHUCK:  Merrick Christensen. MERRICK:  Hey guys. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. And we have a special guest, Todd Parker from the jQuery UI team. TODD:  Hey everyone. CHUCK:  You want to introduce yourself really quickly? TODD:  Sure. My name is Todd Parker.

Alright. Well, let’s talk about jQuery Mobile here. I’m a little curious. I’ve played with it a little bit, but I haven’t really had to build too many Mobile sites. So, can you explain a little bit about what the focus is and how it’s different from the jQuery that we all know and love? TODD:  Sure. So, jQuery Mobile started its life, it’s very similar in concept to jQuery UI, so it’s a user interface framework that’s built on top of jQuery core. The difference between UI and Mobile is obviously UI is much more desktop focused, and Mobile is mobile focused. That said, jQuery Mobile, from the beginning,
