In this chapter, we have covered the history and background of IBM Worklight, approaches used in mobile development and why Worklight is the right choice between other mobile application development solutions with its inline efficient tools and components.

In the next chapter, you're going to install Worklight (Worklight Studio and Worklight Server) to set up the development environment on your computer to manage your application's lifecycle from development to deployment. Moreover, you'll be guided in setting up the Android SDK within the same environment to test the application on an Android simulator. This will help you to run and follow along with the examples discussed throughout this book.
