“Building applications for each platform requires knowledge of different frameworks and programming languages. PhoneGap solves this by using standards-based web technologies to bridge web applications and mobile devices.”
TechnoSIP Review – Phonegap
Create Mobile Applications using the Technologies you love – HTML, CSS and JavaScript. PhoneGap is an application container technology that allows you to create natively-installed applications for mobile devices using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Phonegap is becoming very popular because of its feature and solution it provides. PhoneGap has been downloaded millions of times and is being used by hundreds of thousands of developers.
Phonegap is very easy to learn, If you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript than you are in good position to master Phonegap within few days, and you will achieve expertise as time passes and number of Phonegap apps developed by you.
The core engine for PhoneGap is also 100% open source, under the Apache Cordova project.
The user interface for PhoneGap applications is created using HTML (layout/structure), CSS (formatting), and JavaScript (Logics). The UI part of a PhoneGap project is a web view (web browser). The web view used by PhoneGap is the same web view used by the native operating system.
PhoneGap provides an application programming interface (API) using Plugins that enables you to access native functionality using JavaScript functions and callbacks. PhoneGap API handles communication with the native operating system. Phonegap API works between Our JavaScript Code and Device, It communicates with Device Hardware and ask Device to perform requested task. These API are accessible via Phonegap Plugins like Geolocation Plugin, Push Notification Plugin, Camera Plugin etc. PhoneGap native plugins enable you to write your own custom native classes and corresponding JavaScript interfaces for use within your PhoneGap applications.
PhoneGap applications are developed using HTML, CSS, and JS, however the final product of a PhoneGap project is a binary executable file that can be distributed through corresponding app stores. For iOS the binary file have .ipa extension, .apk for android and .xap for Windows OS.
