FREE DEMO: Open Source iPhone & Mobile Development with PhoneGap!

Creating apps without learning object-oriented programming? Yes, it's possible!

The PhoneGap open source mobile platform bridges the "gap" between Web and native technologies, so you can build applications using  HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Access device features such as the address book, camera, accelerometer, file system and more via common JavaScript APIs without having to learn a device specific language such as Objective-C or Java! Compile, test and distribute on up to 6 platforms: Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Palm, Symbian, and Windows Mobile. PhoneGap is completely open source under MIT license.

PhoneGap is built using a plugin architecture so you can include only the device features you need or add additional features as necessary. Wherever possible, the PhoneGap API's to access native features follow the specifications from the Device Independence working group at the W3C. Thus, PhoneGap is working to make itself obsolete! When the mobile browsers implement these device specifications, the PhoneGap bridge will no longer be necessary but PhoneGap applications will already implement the standard, W3C APIs. In addition, PhoneGap works with JavaScript frameworks such as Sencha Touch, JQTouch, XUI and others to provide a native UI look and feel for several platforms.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 1 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm as presenter Simon MacDonald explains the basics of PhoneGap development and then demonstrates building an running a native application on several platforms. The demo runs for an hour, with half an hour at the end for your questions.
