PhoneGap Development How to make an app using PhoneGap Build ? Presentation By MobilePundits

 Developing native apps for individual platforms is not so easy.  You invest a lot of time in writing code for the same piece of software in different programming languages.  Every individual cannot be technically sound, but he/she can develop the app without any hassle or pressure.

 With PhoneGap you can smartly develop apps using HTML5, CSS & JavaScript.  PhoneGap Build is an advanced version of PhoneGap offering cloud based services to the developers.  In simple words PhoneGap is a service where developers can develop native apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
