20 Recipes for Programming PhoneGap

This book will explore many common features of mobile development and how they are accomplished with PhoneGap. This will include GPS location, maps, media, accelerometer, and much more. PhoneGap is a library that allows developers to interface directly with a mobile device through the use of its Javascript libraries. With the multitude of mobile platforms it is very difficult and expensive to create multiple applications in Java, Objective-C, or other native languages. Through the PhoneGap library, most web developers can convert their existing knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript into mobile phone applications with very little effort.
