You already know how to develop a native mobile app

You're Drupal developer and you've already invested a lot of time building your skills in HTML, CSS and Javascript. You'd like to be one of the cool kids with an app in the Apple App Store or Android Market, but who has the time? Well there's a way you can do it: Phonegap.

Phonegap is an open-source tool which enables you to use the skills you already have to build native apps. You can access the unique features of mobile devices like camera, location or contacts through the Phonegap API. Conventional native app development requires different languages and APIs for different mobile devices. By developing your app in HTML5, you can use the same code base to build for iOS, Android and other platforms.

This session will cover:

  • Overview of mobile development options
  • Introduction to Phonegap
  • Demonstration of building a simple native app
  • Tools and techniques to enhance Phonegap development with Drupal
  • Overview of Drupal+Phonegap projects
