PhoneGap is a development tool that allows web developers to take advantage of the core features in the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry SDK using JavaScript.
If you are a web developer who wants to build mobile applications using JavaScript and HTML while still taking advantage of the core features in the iPhone, Android and Blackberry SDKs, PhoneGap is the tool for you.
Here are some key features of "PhoneGap":
Simple:
· As simple as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Software development is hard work. Device integration should be simple so you can focus on the application you are building instead of authoring complex compatibility layers. PhoneGap aims to solve device integration by web enabling devices native functionality with open standards.
Device Agnostic:
· The Apple iPhone, Google Android and various Blackberry models boast large screens and powerful device capability. Web enabling these devices in a consistent platform saves the developer from having to implement logic in three different software development paradigms.
Completely Open Source:
· PhoneGap is all about open web and open standards.
Active Community:
· The PhoneGap community is growing at a rapid pace.
