how to get started programming for mobile devices

[m2244]

Hello,

I am very new to programming for mobile devices. From what I have read, the best route is jQuery Mobile, I am reading the docs for it now. I was wondering if someone could help me understand a few things.

An important piece of background information I should provide first is that our site now uses a "hub" html page into which content is loaded using JS as the user navigates around.

Here is the main question I have:

1. For page transitions do I have to have 3 pages loaded, the current page, the previous page and the following page?

Any other advice would be appreciated.
