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. I am a partner here at Filament Group in Boston. We’re a small web design shop. And I’m also the project lead for the jQuery Mobile team. And previous to that, I was on the jQuery UI team as well. So, I’m both covered.CHUCK:  Did I say jQuery UI? I meant jQuery Mobile.TODD:  You did. I was covering for you though, it’s okay.CHUCK:  [Laughs] Awesome. Before we get too far into this, I want to make one announcement and that is that I’ve set up an Indiegogo campaign for the network of podcasts that this is a part of. So, we’re trying to build a website that has all the features that people have been asking for. Mostly it has to do with search and some RSS feed management stuff. So, if you would like to support the show, then by all means do so. You can do it by going to Indiegogo.com/projects/DevChat-tv. And I’ll put a link to the show notes so that you can find it.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,Special Guest: Todd Parker.
