Presentation: Cross-Platform Mobile Apps with HTML, JavaScript and PhoneGap

Track: Cross Platform Mobile / Time: Wednesday 16:40 - 17:40 / Location: St. James

HTML has emerged as a powerful alternative to "native" to enable cross-platform mobile application development. But how do you build large, complex, and native-like mobile apps using HTML, JavaScript and CSS? This session covers modern strategies to build large JavaScript projects using JavaScript MVC frameworks, and how to use PhoneGap to leverage the native capabilities of your device in JavaScript and to package your HTML application as a native app for distribution through the different app stores.
