As you all know, ASP.NET Web API that is designed to work with REST services (and out of fashion) , it is ideal to work it with mobile applications, and in the book have a chapter on this framework , which quickly go ented and able to create a service layer of a natural and simple.
After a few introductions to the technologies they cover in the book, it delves into the framework Kendo UI Mobile, making emphasis on the framework MVVM (model -view- viewmodel ) and explaining each of the Kendo UI widgets offering Mobile.
Finally , the integration of front- end application ( Kendo UI HTML5 and JavaScript) with the back-end ( ASP.NET Web API) is made.
It really is a pretty good book, which takes you step by step in creating a fully functional application for all lovers / supporters of Kendo UI Mobile, is a book you should read if you have not already done so, if do not know anything about that client framework ( Kendo UI) or REST services ( ASP.NET web API) , do not worry , a little more attention in the first few chapters and go!
Pros:
1-This book is short, direct to subject (which my be considered as a defect also ).
2-This book is well organized.
3-This book was not complex and very easy to READ.
Cons:
1-The book is written as a step by step guide which is not my favorite style, I think the good book is the one which lets you think in the problem or shorty as a problem-solution style.
2-The sample for the book was very simple with no new ideas or innovations or not even solve a real problem, this problem specifically forced the writer of this book to use the most easier and straight forward samples and code from each technology he used.
3-Some topics needs to be well explained more than that.
4-One of the most defects I noticed which was very annoying for me is the absence of even speaking on how to package,deploy this application to the mobile stores, every book in our field must finish by a chapter or section for deployment, what is the benefit from reading a book for developing a Mobile applications without knowing how to put this application on our mobile phones !!
The author give us all the necessary tools and tips to develop, such as IDE editors (Visual Studio), emulators (Ripple from RIM), browser extensions (Advanced Rest Client for Chrome) and KendoUI.
The book explains all the core concepts of Kendo Framework Elements (datasource, templates, MVVM), Kendo UI Mobile Widgets and Web API service (hosting, routing, binding, securing, methods) and the complete integration, around a real-world mobile sample application called "Movie Tickets" with example code files on editor’s site packtpub.com and on JsFiddle.net, so reader can easily learn and interact with them, allowing us develop real-world mobile applications for iOS, Android, Blackberry and any other os mobiles.
