Start

What You Will Build

Some best practices and performance techniques will be taught and you will be introduced to useful plugins to add additional functionality and enhance the app to provide a more native experience.

What You Will Learn

Requirements

A mobile device or a Mobile SDK is not a requirement for this tutorial. You will able to test your application in the browser or with the PhoneGap Developer App with some limitations. If you want the full support of the native APIs then you will need the mobile SDK for that platform (iOS SDK, Android SDK, etc.) installed on your system.
