Adding Mobile Views to your Grails Applications with JQuery Mobile: A Real Life Example

Last month, we launched mobile views for Secret Escapes, our little application written in Grails.

For this project, we chose to implement a set of mobile views on top of our existing Grails application using jQuery Mobile. In less than a month, we were able to implement and put live a set of views that simplified the user experience for our mobile users.

In this post, I will discuss some of the tools, challenges and design decisions that arose from making our existing Grails application more iPhone friendly.
