Abstract
One of the most exciting capabilities that our modern mobile device browser landscape gives us is the ability to program for touch. By leveraging these touch capabilities, we can create better and more natural experiences for our users. Unfortunately, programming for touch can be difficult, and there are a number of browser incompatibilities. In this chapter we will discuss the core concepts, the APIs available, which browsers they are supported in, and how to write code that works on all the most recent devices as well as on the desktop. We will finish the chapter off with a sample that is of very practical use and shows off touch well.
