Cordova allows mobile developers to create native apps by leveraging a single reusable codebase across multiple platforms. You simply develop the app components using standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and use Cordova to create a native app. Cordova makes it easy to access OS-specific device capabilities. Learn more about the benefits of using Cordova for your next app development project, in these tutorials with Tom Duffy. Tom shows you how to create a modern, location-aware app that integrates with the Google Maps API, and style it to look like a native app. Then he uses the Cordova CLI to prepare it for deployment on iOS and Android (via Xcode and Android Studio). By the end of the course, Thomas completes a simple project with Cordova, and provides you with some ideas for improving the app with custom icons, a splash screen, directions, and pop-up info windows.
