Description
The “write once, run anywhere" mantra holds true when it comes to the development of hybrid, cross-platform apps. Web developers are already using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript so it makes sense to build web and mobile apps with what they know! Hybrid, native-like, mobile app development is gaining momentum for that reason, especially since development costs are significantly reduced.
Develop Your First Hybrid Mobile App
- get started with one of the most well supported touch-optimized web frameworks jQuery Mobile
- find out how customizing your app with your own CSS and JavaScript can easily be accomplished
- create apps with interactive elements such as a quiz which will increase engagement and interest
