Video description

It's a fact - if you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop your own iPhone apps! You can design and build apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch with existing open source web technologies without using Objective-C or Cocoa. Mobile apps that work on multiple platforms are the wave of the future. Learn about these new technologies from a recognized expert by watching this recorded webcast provided by Safari Books Online! You will learn to convert your product into a native iPhone app using the free PhoneGap framework.
