The book is an easy to follow hands-on guide on how to setup your environment, develop and publish hybrid apps on Android, BlackBerry, Firefox OS, iOS and Windows Phone.
What you should expect from this book: > A step by step training guide focused on critical path activities. This is not a reference book > Straight to the point content. I am not including any history on mobile ecosystem or any debate (e.g. native versus hybrid) > Approach that works. The Local & Fresh app used as an example in this book is available on all the stores using the coding practices detailed in each chapter > No plugins, libraries or frameworks, therefore, no lock in effect or performance issues. I am only using native programing languages and W3 compliant HTML5 (JavaScript, CSS and HTML) > Basic design and coverage of HTML5 APIs. The focus of this book is on hybrid apps and not on the new HTML5 APIs > Firefox OS is included in this book although there are no hybrid apps in the Firefox OS world. However, the Firefox OS apps are based on HTML5 > No judgments of the platforms. This is not a book about ranking the platforms.
