Dreamweaver users: welcome to the brave new world of mobile app development. Now, with the PhoneGap plugin and basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can create apps for iOS and Android devices—and this course shows you how. Author Joseph Lowery first explains how to set up both Android and iOS work environments, including the simulators you'll need for testing your app on different phone models and operating systems. Then he takes you step by step through the creation of a basic app with jQuery Mobile with a custom theme. The final chapters demonstrate how to build an app from scratch—complete with transitions and sliders—and then construct a data-entry form optimized for mobile.
