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.
A Quick Guide to PhoneGap App Development
Using the PhoneGap Build
In your web browser, open the URL build.phonegap.com. You will see the homepage of the Adobe’s PhoneGap website
Till here we are assuming that you have the code of your sample app because in this tutorial we will be learning to create cross platform apps with a single code base & not writing the code from the scratch
