Using PhoneGap, developers can build native mobile apps using standard HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, and then deploy those apps to every leading mobile platform with little or no recoding. Up to now, though, PhoneGap was lacking complete, practical documentation. PhoneGap Essentials fills that void: It's the first concise, yet complete, tutorial for succeeding with PhoneGap in real-world development. Experienced mobile developer John M. Wargo thoroughly introduces the PhoneGap platform, explaining what it is, what it does, and how it works. He then guides through configuring PhoneGap environments--creating complete mobile apps--and building them for the Google Android(tm), Samsung bada, Apple® iOS, BlackBerry® devices, Symbian(tm) OS, and Windows® Phone.
