O'Reilly Webcast: Easy Mobile Development with PhoneGap

Have a great idea for an iPhone app, but don't have the time or inclination to learn Objective-C?

Created at iPhoneDevCamp 2008 and winner of the Launch Pad competition at Web 2.0 Expo 2009, PhoneGap is an open source initiative for building mobile applications with JavaScript. Using the PhoneGap framework, web developers can author apps in HTML and JavaScript and still take advantage of native mobile device capabilities like geo location, camera, vibration and sound. PhoneGap makes it easy to build apps for iPhone, Android, Nokia S60 and Blackberry.

Learn how to get started building a PhoneGap application that's app store ready and learn how to contribute back to the open source PhoneGap project.

I don't understand how someone can choose to present something interesting like this with such tired voice

[danielsnowak]

the sound is terrible

[gauravzerogravity]

Fuck you

Oooo a short tutorial about a progr..... 56 FUCKING MINUTES?

These guys are painfully dull, extremely slow, and poor presenters. That said, the content they're covering is very interesting. Thanks god for being able to jump the playhead forward. This could have been a 15 minute video.

what is everone's problem with this guy's voice ? I mean, doesn't your average American talk like that every day ? You can bet that was my experience anyway!

Now to the more important aspect - PhoneGap will fail where Qt will succeed because 1) there is no local build system except for the iphone (the rest gets done in the cloud) and 2) Qt will always allow for straight access to native APIs.

try not to run 20 miles AND smoke a joint before doing a demo. You sound like you are about to drop dead.

Seeing the Web win is a hopeful. What can't Phonegap do that objective C can?

[morvi3554]

Really they should do something about the voice I can the voice!

Great video, I would have expected more views in a year than 5,025.

The woman at 22:58 has a pretty voice.
