                                                  Introduction to PhoneGap Development PhoneGap is an open source framework for building cross-platform mobile applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript . Introduction: PhoneGap was born out of iPhoneDevCamp in 2008, where it was created simply because there were not a lot of Objective-C developers in comparison to Web Developers. The challenge was to put together a framework that would allow web developers to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to code applications that could take advantage of the native functionality of the mobile device, such as the Camera, Storage, and GeoLocation features. Initially built to work with the iPhone, within a year PhoneGap was growing and beginning to support Android too. Applications built with PhoneGap are not just like normal mobile web sites. PhoneGap applications are able to interact with mobile device hardware, such as the Accelerometer or GPS, in ways that are unavailable to n
Difference between Phonegap and Native  application development The development for Android and iOS apps requires obtaining the respective SDKs. For iOS, this means learning Objective-C and also learning Cocoa Touch. Android programming is very similar to Java, but with Android-specific APIs and frameworks. In addition to the native application development for these plat-forms, there are also several third party APIs that can assist in the development process. In this post I will present a brief description of the available APIs for development as well as their pros and cons. 1. Native application development [iOS SDK][Android SDK] Xcode is the official toolset provided by Apple for any Mac and iOS development. Google recommends using Eclipse for development on Android. iOS development requires familiarity with Objective C. Its syntax is quite different from other traditional programming languages like Java and C++ and requires some adaptation. In addition to this, t
