In this presentation, Prince John has given an overview of Apache Cordova, also referred as PhoneGap - a software development framework. To develop apps using PhoneGap, developers do not need to know a mobile programming language, but only web-development languages. ---------------------------------------------------------- Get Socialistic Our website: http://valuebound.com/ LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/2eKgdux Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valuebound/ Twitter: http://bit.ly/2gFPTi8

2. INTRO
Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) is a mobile
application development framework initially created by
NITOBI.
But eventually, ADOBE SYSTEMS purchased NITOBI in
2011, and re-branded PhoneGap, and later released as an
open source version of the software called Apache Cordova.

3. SO WHAT IS PhoneGap?
● PhoneGap is a software development framework by ADOBE
SYSTEMS, which is used to develop mobile applications.
● To develop apps using PhoneGap, the
developer does not require to have knowledge
of mobile programming language but only
web-development languages like, HTML, CSS, and JScript.
● It solves this by using standards-based web technologies to bridge
web applications and mobile devices

4. HOW DOES IT WORK?
● The user interface for PhoneGap applications is
created using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The UI
layer of a PhoneGap application is a web browser view
that takes up 100% of the device width and 100% of
the device height.
● And It, provides an application programming interface
(API) that enables you to access native operating
system functionality using JavaScript. You build your
application logic using JavaScript, and the PhoneGap
API handles communication with the native operating
system.

5. Early versions of PhoneGap required an Apple computer to create
iOS apps and a Windows computer to create Windows Mobile apps.
After September 2012, Adobe's PhoneGap Build service allows
programmers to upload CSS, HTML, and JScript source code to
a "Cloud Compiler" that generates apps for every supported
platform.

6. PhoneGap
Build PhoneGap Build is a cloud service for compiling
PhoneGap applications. Adobe PhoneGap provides a
way for users to create mobile applications using
technologies such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Applications created with PhoneGap can be distributed
to various vendor app stores (ex: Apple App Store) and
installed on a end-user's device like any other native
application.
