Staying a step ahead in Mobile app development with PhoneGap 2.0

Adobe's recent release of PhonGap 2.0 will make the app development process much smoother.

Hicksville, NY (prHWY.com) July 24, 2012 - Adobe recently announced the release of PhoneGap 2.0, their cross platform development framework for mobile applications, at the 2nd annual PhoneGap Day in Portland, Oregon.

PhoneGap is a very popular open-source framework for mobile development. Nitobi had developed PhoneGap which was acquired by Adobe in October 2011. PhoneGap allows the software programmers to create cross platform applications using Java, HTML5 and CSS3. Apps created with PhoneGap are neither totally native nor totally web based. They are a combination of the two. PhoneGap 2.0 update has many new major features incorporated in it.

One of the major features is Cordova WebView which allows the integration of PhoneGap as a view fragment into a larger native application. PhonGap 2.0 also brings the Command Line Tooling (CLT) for Android, iOS and BlackBerry. CLI tooling brings a standard nomenclature to common tasks across platforms such as generating projects, debugging, and emulation. Usually , these are different incantations for each platform vendor making cross platform development work-flow inconsistent and jarring.

PhoneGap 2.0 has support for Windows Phone platform also. Windows Phone is a rapidly growing platform and with PhoneGap 2.0 support, the demand will keep growing.

PhoneGap 2.0 has enhanced documentation in order to accelerate the mobile app development process and make it simple. It includes getting started guides, plug-ins and migration guides. With the availability of a node module, installation process will become easy with Node Package Manager. The latest update has many more features like Web Inspector Remote (Weinre), Cordovajs (support for unified Javascript for all the platforms), Enhancements to iOS app development and Transition to Apache Cordova.

"PhoneGap 2.0 will make the mobile app development process smoother for developers. It will help them immensely to stay a step ahead in the programming world. It's a back-end step up that will ensure a better end-product.", says Mr. Jayneel, Managing Director at Openxcell Technolabs.
