Building Mobile Apps Using The Stuff You Already Know
🤔
Building Mobile Apps Using Stuff That Is Similar To What You Already Know... Kinda
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What Is A Hybrid App?
"...a web app, primarily built using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, that is then wrapped inside a thin native container that provides access to native platform features" [1]
What Is Apache Cordova?
1. A browser Without The "Chrome"
Packaged as a native app
2. A Bridge Over The "Gap" Between JavaScript And Native
With plugins to enable native device functionality via JavaScript!
3. Tooling And To Help Develop Hybrid Applications
CLI tools, build-time configuration (e.g.: icons, etc), app building, and more
What Is Adobe PhoneGap?
...and how is it different to Cordova, or even is it?
1. Primary Contributors To Apache Cordova
2. Value-Add Tooling, Docs, Cloud Build Service, And More...
With That Out Of The Way...
let's see it in action ⚡️
A Web App
vs
A Cordova App
Thanks!
Hope to see you later... 😍
