Speakers: Brian LeRoux, Nitobi Description: PhoneGap is an open source, cross-platform tool for writing a single code that runs on multiple mobile platforms using just HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It is not a full OS toolkit and does not provide GUI widgets or high-level features. It's simply a common API and set of build tools that give you uniform access to the browser and device services. JavaScript fans won't want to miss this brisk walk-through of Nitobi's popular PhoneGap project courtesy of lead architect Brian Leroux, creator of XUI and Lawnchair. Get tips on developing effective mobile web apps and learn how you can use your web programming skills to bridge mobile platform gaps.
