Building Iphone Apps With Html Css And Javascript

What people are saying about Building iPhone Apps w/ HTML, CSS, and JavaScript "The future of mobile development is clearly web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Jonathan Stark shows you how to leverage your existing web development skills to build native iPhone applications using these technologies." --John Allsopp, author and founder of Web Directions "Jonathan's book is the most comprehensive documentation available for developing web applications for mobile Safari. Not just great tech coverage, this book is an easy read of purely fascinating mobile tidbits in a fun colloquial style. Must have for all PhoneGap developers." -- Brian LeRoux, Nitobi Software It's a fact: if you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop your own iPhone apps. With this book, you'll learn how to use these open source web technologies to design and build apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch on the platform of your choice-without using Objective-C or Cocoa. Device-agnostic mobile apps are the wave of the future, and this book shows you how to create one product for several platforms. You'll find guidelines for converting your product into a native iPhone app using the free PhoneGap framework. And you'll learn why releasing your product as a web app first helps you find, fix, and test bugs much faster than if you went straight to the App Store with a product built with Apple's tools. Build iPhone apps with tools you already know how to use Learn how to make an existing website look and behave like an iPhone app Add native-looking animations to your web app using jQTouch Take advantage of client-side data storage with apps that run even when the iPhone is offline Hook into advanced iPhone features -- including the accelerometer, geolocation, and vibration -- with JavaScript Submit your applications to the App Store with Xcode This book received valuable community input through O'Reilly's Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS).

Provides step-by-step instructions on creating a variety of applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript instead of Objective-C or Cocoa.

This book covers the various aspects of developing web-based applications for iOS. Over the past four years, the iPhone and iPad have been amazingly successful. Because of this success, application developers are entering a world of sophisticated, multifunctional mobile applications. Now mobile web-based applications can bring together web apps, native apps, multimedia video and audio, and the mobile device itself. By using this book you will learn how to create a mobile application from beginning to end, utilizing open source frameworks to speed up development times, emulate the look and feel of built-in Apple applications, capture finger touch interactions, and optimize applications for Wi-Fi and wireless networks. The book introduces you to the web application platform for iOS. It also guides you through the process of building new applications from scratch as well as migrating existing web applications to this new mobile platform. By doing this, the book helps readers design a user interface that is optimized for iOS touch-screen displays and integrate their applications with iPhone services, including Phone, Mail, Google Maps, and GPS. This book is aimed at beginning and intermediate web developers who want to learn how to build new applications for iOS or migrate existing web apps to this platform. In general, you will find it helpful if you have a working knowledge of these technologies: HTML/XHTML CSS JavaScript Ajax

Es geht auch ohne Objective-C und Cocoa! Wenn Sie HTML, CSS und JavaScript konnen, haben Sie alles, was Sie brauchen, um eine schicke, funktionstuchtige iPhone-Applikation zu entwickeln. Im iPhone-Look&Feel, nur mit Standard-Technologien und unschlagbar einfach. Wer will schon gern bei Null anfangen? Sich in eine neue Programmiersprache und ungewohnte Entwicklungswerkzeuge einzuarbeiten, ist ganz schon muhsam und vollig uberflussig. Nutzen Sie Ihr Webwissen und legen Sie los: Mit HTML5 konnen Sie Daten auf dem Client speichern und Anwendungen entwickeln, die offline funktionieren. Mit CSS bekommen Sie den echten iPhone-Look hin, und mit den richtigen JavaScript-Helfern klappt s auch mit den Animationen. Das Beste aus zwei Welten Wollen Sie den App Store als Verbreitungskanal fur Ihre Anwendung nutzen? Oder mochten Sie, dass Ihre App auf verschiedenen mobilen Geraten lauft? Dann nutzen Sie das Open Source-Framework PhoneGap, das aus Ihrer Web-App ein installierbares Programm macht. Die Vorzuge der Webversion konnen Sie trotzdem nutzen: Testen und verbessern Sie Ihre App kontinuierlich und zeitnah, bevor Sie sie Apples Review-Prozedere uberantworten. Kompakt, schnell, praxisbezogen Jonathan Stark ist kein Freund des Seitenschindens: Er kommt sofort zur Sache und bringt alle in der Praxis wichtigen Schritte klar und strukturiert auf den Punkt. Vermutlich brauchen Sie fur diesen kompakten, praxisnahen Leitfaden nur wenige Stunden, und Ihre Anwendung steht."
