What is PhoneGap?
• PhoneGap API:– An interface to the most common set of device
functionality – Contacts, GeoLocation, File, Camera, etc…– All accessible through JS– docs.phonegap.com
What is PhoneGap?
• PhoneGap PlugIns:– A way to extend your PhoneGap app if you want
to access more than what the PhoneGap API provides
– Process: Write a native implementation then use JS to call that native function
PhoneGap Mantra
Write once debug everywhere
The Alternative?
Write your app natively• iOS – Objective C• Android – Java• BlackBerry – Java• webOS – HTML, CSS, and JS• Windows Phone 7 - .Net• Bada – C++
The Alternative?
• Need a dev who knows the platform • Multiple code bases• Longer turn around time to get releases out to
all platforms
YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER A WORLD OF PAIN
All right…maybe that’s a little extreme
• Native still gives you the best performance
• And maybe the web isn’t your thing
…buuuuuuut
