Hour 23. Building an App with PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile


What You’ll Learn In This Hour:

• Why PhoneGap is ideal for web developers

• The difference between native and web apps

• How to create an Android project with PhoneGap

• How to import a jQuery Mobile project into a PhoneGap project


There has been some debate about building native applications or using web applications and while both sides have valid points, there are times when a web application either isn’t feasible or just doesn’t provide the device permissions needed to allow the application to function properly. This hour we spend some time looking at a project that helps bridge the gap between native and web applications.
