PhoneGap - Development Tool for Mobile
Written by Alx Monday, 21 June 2010 18:38
PhoneGap is an open-source mobile development framework developed by Nitobi Software. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML and CSS, instead of less-popular proprietary languages such as Objective-C. PhoneGap currently supports development for the iPhone, Palm WebOS, Google Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS and BlackBerry operating systems.
First developed at an iPhoneDevCamp event in San Francisco, PhoneGap went on to win the People's Choice Award at O'Reilly Media's 2009 Web 2.0 Conference.
The framework has been used to develop many apps, including one for Wine.com.
The framework has also been confirmed by apple to meet with its approval even with the new 4.0 developer license change.
