Nowdays, there is a lot of mobile SDK framework that provide developer a solutions to their life, in order to create a multi platform mobile apps. i was tried to build apps for BlackBerry and Android, and basically i got a trouble when i want to make my apps available on both platforms. To much effort!.

then i found this Apache Cordova, a free and open source mobile SDK framework based on HTML, CSS and Javascript. Yeay! web is never die.

The basic move is really straight forward.

1. Install cordova by executing "npm install -g cordova"
2. create initial app by execute command "cordova create myApp org.apache.cordova.myApp myApp"
3. add web platform with command "cordova platform add browser"
4. execute "cordova run browser" to launch the app

if you lost in the command, it can easily shown using command "cordova help". it will show the howto command also example on how to do some stuff.

run "cordova platform" to see what platform that cordova actually supported.

to build/package app, run "cordova build" then it will create package.zip under platform folder

run the app by execute command "cordova run browser"


all is set! Next time i will try different platform supported by cordova.

have a nice weekend...
