Is there a good HTML5 and JavaScript beginners tutorial for making iPad web apps?

i am planning to develop a web app for iPad. Basically its e- catalog app. so my requirement is

Intuitive UI (animation etc..)
Support all touch gestures

So my question is is there any good source of examples or tutorials for getting started with HTML5 and JavaScript?

Thank you so much.

UPDATE i just found about "Sencha Touch" any thoughts on this? is it good to use?

I think jQuery mobile is the way to go.

...of course it's still in development :P.

The other frameworks kind of suck right now, but Safari is one of the most advanced and spec-conforming browsers available. You can receive touch events with native javascript, but it would be nice to have a visual framework like that above.

thanks Stefan,but i couldnt find any link for downloading JS. i guess its still in Alpha phase,is it ok to use since it can change any time during development time

@Nnp: jQuery Mobile isn't released yet, even as an alpha. Not only is it not OK to use, it's not even *possible* to use.

I'd start basic native development now, and switch when it releases. The other frameworks aren't even worth exploring.

+1 A:

The Apple documentation is a good place to start:

http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/Introduction/Introduction.html

It contains lots of information on how to author HTML/JS/etc for the iOS devices (though nothing about jQuery).
