In this workshop you will learn how to create a simple mobile Tour Guide application using PhoneGap with HTML, JavaScript and CSS. 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.
How to handle specific mobile challenges such as handling click delay, native alerts, check for offline and use a single page architecture.
How to use several PhoneGap APIs via plugins
To complete this workshop, all you need is a code editor, a modern browser, and a connection to the Internet.
A working knowledge of HTML and JavaScript is assumed, but you don’t need to be a JavaScript guru.
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.
