Cross platform mobile app using HTML5 , CSS , JavaScript : phonegap SDK

PhoneGap is open source SDK which supports mobile app developement for 7 different  mobile platform including iOS , Andriod and Windows.

PhoneGap enable the developers to write code in open standards using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript and run it on any platform. The PhoneGap manages how to generate the native code for each for the platform on which the app is running.

This is Codeproject article which gives a sample application developed using PhoneGap and installed in three different mobile platforms.







""There has been a growing trend in the use of HTML5 for development of cross-platform mobile applications. This technology allows a developer to write an application using platform-neutral web technologies that can be delivered to a broad range of smartphone devices. This capitalises on modern smartphones generally having highly capable browsers, with good support for HTML5 / CSS3 features.

This article uses Apache Cordova (previously called PhoneGap), an open source framework, that provides a mechanism for packaging HTML5 content (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images) as a native executable for Windows Phone, iOS, BlackBerry and Android. Cordova also provides a JavaScript interface for native phone functionality that is not accessible using HTML5 technologies (e.g. camera, accelerometer, compass)."
