Ch1, page 25 and 34. I assume that if you don't like the footnotes, the copy editor will replace them with in-code comments. Not sure how they'll do it throughout the book, case in some cases the footnote comments have lots of text.

Ch1, page 30. The tech editor is wrong - Firebug shows the variable this and window without the need to set them as watch variables.

== jQuery Mobile

Today most of the enterprise applications are still being developed for desktop computers. The situation is changing, but it's a slow process. BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device, and if five years ago it would be close to impossible to get a permission to bring your own computer to work and use it as for work related activities, the situation is a lot better now. Sales people want to use tablets while dealing with prospective clients. Business analysts want to be able to run familiar Web applications on their smartphones. Enterprises want to offer access to their valuable data to external clients from a variety of different devices.

BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device, and if five years ago it would be close to impossible to get a permission to bring your own computer to work and use it as for work related activities, the situation is a lot better now. COYD (Chose Your Own Device) is even a newer trend than BYOD. It's about selecting a strategy that organizations should employ while bringing new devices.

If you just finished reading the chapter on responsive design, you may be wondering, why not just build every Web application this way having a single code base? The reason being that small-screen devices are not too good in cases when the user not just browses the Web site but has to interact with it by entering data. In some cases the UI and the navigation for the mobile devices has to be custom designed to include only partial functionality where each page view is carefully designed to provide the best user experience. Besides, with responsive design the entire code and CSS for all devices is loaded to the user's smartphone making the application unnecessary heavy and slow when the connection speed is not great.
