Develop web apps that take advantage of features like the camera, accelerometer and address book on iOS, Android, or other devices. Max Firtman, a mobile and web developer, shows you how to extend HTML, CSS and Javascript code to work on native devices using Apache Cordova and Adobe’s free PhoneGap framework.
Max shows you how to set Cordova up so that you can embed your web app inside. You will be able to create hybrid apps that aren't just web-based but still use web views instead of the native UI framework on your device. These mobile apps are adaptable to any device.
