[Seaside] Re: video showing how to develop a simple app in JQueryMobile

Hi Yanni,

Thanks for the feedback and watching the video through to the end.

Whoops that wasn't the message I was hoping to get across, rather I was
hoping that Seaside developers would see how easy it is to develop a
JQueryMobile application....

Thanks - that was what I was hoping to get across. If I create future
videos I'll focus a little more on the application under development rather
than the process of developing I think and in process reduce the length of
the video - (though it will take more preparation, or editing ;-) )

That's a good point about the "New Session" button. I've not got into the
habit of using it. I removed the toolbar in JQMAdmin
register:asApplicationAt: as really doesn't work on a mobile device when
the page contains scrolling content.

Great. Strangely for web apps I haven't found much use of decorations, but
for JQMobile apps decorations seem a good fit, as does Seaside.
