Building Across –Platform Mobile Apps Using Phone Gap

Abstract

Phone Gap is a mobile development framework produced by Nitobi, purchased by Adobe Systems. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, instead of device-specific languages such as Objective-C or Java. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are neither truly native nor purely web-based. The software underlying PhoneGap is Apache Cordova. The software was previously called just “PhoneGap”, then “Apache Callback”. Apache Cordova is open source software.
