Getting Started with Cross-Platform Mobile Development with Apache Cordova

with Ryan Salva

​In this session led by members from the Tools for Apache Cordova product team, learn how you can code and debug cross-platform mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We take a whirlwind tour starting with setup where Visual Studio guides you through installation of all 12 tool chain dependencies you need to develop for the Android and iOS platforms. Then, we take a peek at debugging your app on all three platforms (iOS, Android, and Windows) using emulators and real tethered devices. Finally, learn how Cordova Plugins can give you access to native device capabilities like the camera, file system, and push notifications.
