Abstract

HTML has emerged as a powerful alternative to “native” to enable cross-platform mobile application development. In this session, you learn how to leverage your existing HTML and JavaScript skills to build cross-platform mobile applications, how to access the device features (camera, accelerometer, contacts, file system, etc) using JavaScript APIs, and how to package your HTML application as a native app for distribution through the different app stores.
