PhoneGap Development How to make an app using PhoneGap Build ?
Presentation By MobilePundits
Developing native apps for individual platforms is
not so easy.
You invest a lot of time in writing code for the same
piece of software in different programming languages.
Every individual cannot be technically sound, but
he/she can develop the app without any hassle or
pressure.
With PhoneGap you can smartly develop apps using
HTML5, CSS & JavaScript.
PhoneGap Build is an advanced version of PhoneGap
offering cloud based services to the developers.
In simple words PhoneGap is a service where
developers can develop native apps using web
technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
