Apache Cordova allows developers to use web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop mobile applications that can be deployed across multiple platforms. It provides a boilerplate native container application with a web view interface to access device functionality through plugins. Many large companies and organizations use Cordova due to its ability to quickly release apps on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and other platforms while reusing most of the codebase. While it has advantages, Cordova apps also face challenges from differing device behaviors and platform expectations.

How To Create One App For All Platforms using PhoneGapMobiDev
Tips and Tricks from one of the best European PhoneGap Senior Developers.
You can often hear users' complaints about lagging apps. When you ask, “What do you mean by lagging?”, you receive such answers as either “It runs too slowly” or “I don't know, but it's hard to use”. Software developers and mobile users perceive apps differently. In order to eliminate lags, we would first think of optimizing the speed of the app. But in some cases it wouldn't be a correct decision. Let's find out the reason why.

Static Sites Can be the Solution (Simon Wood)Future Insights
Taken from this month's (17th July) London Web meet-up (http://londonweb.org) - we were joined by Simon Wood. Based in Kent, Simon is a passionate tech/geek and is currently Head of Technology and Innovation at the Shortbreaks and New Ventures division of Holiday Extras, a travel technology company. Simon is also acting CTO for miDrive an in-house Start Up incubator.
Simon's session description for Static Sites Can be the Solution:
"We build complex dynamic websites as a first port of call but these are slow, have issues with scaling and can be complex to host. I believe we should more often look to static sites first. I will demonstrate why static sites are such a good choice and show you how you can build static sites, using tools like Jekyll and other static site generators. We will cover how they can be hosted on S3 and GitHub pages and talk about how they can be frequently updated with the correct workflow even though they are static. You can have a blog on a static site and still make regular new blog posts and have dynamic content."

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

I've got starting on writing mobile apps in the past, but have been dismayed that I would have to write the same app several times just so all my friends could run it. This took me back to packaging up visual basic apps for different versions of windows many years ago. Not a good place.
Using web technologies
Javascript is what we have at the moment that runs in the client cross browser, so we have to live with it. ES6 is looking good though. Don't judge me :-)
Once an open source project becomes part of the apache foundation, you know there is some development behind it, with a good issue reporting, feature release and community backing it.
We need to mention phonegap as you will come across mentions of it in blogs and stack overflow questions etc. when researching.
The build service allows you to deploy apps for platforms you don't have. For example an iOS app without needing to own a mac.
In short, they are similar but not the same.
Cordova's goal is to become redundant, hopefully all browsers will catch up with all the required native technology and we can just use HTML5 only!
New point releases nearly every month!
Here are some of the brands you will recognise
Microsoft and RIM played a big hand in creating the native platform brings that allows cordova to work so there is some good backing behind the project.
A webview is a native component which is a mini browser in itself.
Cordova creates a native container or separate app for every supported platform you need.
A cordova app is just a HTML app running from inside a native app.
Doesn't sound like a lot, but we have the freedom to write an app how we like.
Using the provided CLI alongside platform tools, you can build release ready apps without the need to start xcode, eclipse or android studio.
There are projects available that allow you to download your updated JS over the web when you app requires updating so you don't even need to release new app versions.
These products all use cordova as their underlying technology.
Intel XDK has built in game support for gamepads and rendering libraries.
Appery, allows you to develop in the cloud.
AppGyver adds extra tooling and their own UI framework.
Iconic adds in the angular js framework.
Tizen, open source os that can run in cars, phones, wearable devices – Samsung Gear S watch Samsung Z1 phone released at the start of the year in India uses it.
These plugins are provided by cordova and are updated regularly so you can rely on them.
You can write your own plugins and then upload them to github etc. to install and share, in a similar way to npm or bower.
You can think of plugins as missing browser features or native polyfills.
For example. If you have an accelerometer plugin in your browser it could simulate some predictable motion, rather than just failing or not sending any motion events.
It is up the author of a plugin to decide which platforms they support.
Css, less, HTML5, coffescript, Javascript, and libraries such as momentjs.
You will most likely have developer(s) with this knowledge already.
Frameworks such as backbone or angular etc..
Can use your current web dev editor, to keep devs happy.
Can debug in the browser on modern devices.
Releasing on multiple platforms at once take minutes, just a matter of typing in a few commands and navigating the particular app stores release process.
Dont repeat yourself, this is a big win for me, you will probably have a lot of styles, layout and logic that can be reused in an app that can speed up development further.
Working with new devices is straight forward, as you go back through the older versions support for features you need might be lacking. Polyfilling or emulating features might not be worthwhile.
Multiple single page apps can be used in one cordova app, or more than one cordova app can be nested inside a single native app.
IOS users expect apps to work in a certain way as do android users, which way will your app work? Will you alter the app depending on platform or strike some middle ground.
Eg, the hardware back button on the android.
There are many plugins created by users, mostly on Github, some are designed for previous cordova versions, not being maintained well.
