Need to create a PhoneGap application, but don’t know much about the PhoneGap Services provided by Solitaire Infosys? Then, simply go through this presentation and achieve all the details.

1. PhoneGap Technology
The future begins from here

2. Contents
• What is PhoneGap?
• How does it work?
• Pro and Cons
• Conclusion

3. What is PhoneGap?
• PhoneGap is an open-source mobile development
framework
– Developed by Nitobi Software
– Bought by Adobe
• Enables building of mobile device applications using JavaScript ,
HTML and CSS
– Ruby can be used as well
– Instead of often less-known languages such as Objective-C

4. PhoneGap Applications
• The PhoneGap applications are
hybrid
– They are neither truly native nor purely web
based
• All layout rendering is done via the web view
instead of Objective-C
• Much of the functions of HTML5 are supported
• A disadvantage is that hybrid applications
do not have full access to the device API
– Camera , compass , accelerometer , etc.

5. Supported Platforms
• PhoneGap currently supports development
for the following operating systems
– iOS , Android , webOS , Windows Mobile , Symbian
OS and BlackBerry , Windows Phone 7 Mango

6. How does it work?
• Build your app once with web-standards
– Based on HTML5
• Wrap it up with PhoneGap
– Using the free open source framework or PhoneGap build
– You can access the native APIs
• Deploy to multiple platforms
– Standards-based web technologies to bridge web applications and
mobile devices

7. Pros of PhoneGap
Development
• HTML5, CSS and JavaScript skills vs. Objective-C,
Java and C#
• Single code base for all platforms
– iOS, Android, WP 7 Mango, mobile web
• You can take advantage of distribution and integrated
payment
– Via the App Store or Android Market

8. Cons of PhoneGap
Development
• Poor performance
– If your app is graphically intense, i.e. a game.
– Caching or leveraging some 3 rd party solutions may
be implemented with native graphics
– For the most part a native app is much
faster/smoother than mobile web app

9. Conclusion
• PhoneGap is a cross-platform mobile development framework
– Based on HTML5 and JavaScript
– Using web standards
• PhoneGap is useful
– For creation of small apps
– When there is a lack of human resources
– Need a single app deployed on many OS
• Native app developments is always better!
