Description

This course will cover all standard Cordova API’s in a clear, well structured way. Each lecture will guide you through how the hybrid app model works so you really get to understand what’s going off under the hood. You’ll be learning the most advanced API’s, also I tell you what an API is, such as the file system API that can be complex. However I’ll break every single API down and go into detail about how each API works. On top of that I’ll give you some general understanding of the hardware sensors such as the accelerometer, compass and geolocation sensor’s.

All in all this course is here to take you from a web developer and give you the skills to develop hybrid app’s. Also this course is not only giving you understanding of the API’s we go further than that! As an app developer I know what it’s like coming from a web developer background. Most people have to gain certain experience whilst they become an app developer. This course gives you real world knowledge of what you should and shouldn’t do; it gives you the correct perspective of UI and UX principles and finally gives you general understanding of security and privacy. The revolution of Edward Snowden and many scare stories makes understanding privacy and security and how to deal with your user’s is most important for any app developer today.

On top of all this you’ll learn how to use the CocoonJS platform which allows acceleration of HTML5’s 2D canvas element and WebGL for 3D graphics. This is impressive and really goes to show how developing in the hybrid app market is going to change rapidly. The future truly is bright for us hybrid app developers.

In short this course is an all rounder and will give you a massive leg up. Not just showing code and giving a general overview, but teaching you how your code is executed and how Cordova and the hybrid app model works under the hood. On top of all that you’ll get some real life experience! Not just coding but principles, guidelines and best practices for security or otherwise.

It was a little rocky as a bit things were outdated but still very nice and beneficial to creating an application.

npm should never be used with sudo as this course describes. It can really mess things up. Also node has changed a lot since the course was made, so some of the setup information is incorrect. The course discusses the globalization API, which does not exist in the latest version of cordova. https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/ However, the content is clear and well explained and I'm still learning useful things, so I'll keep going...

The content for the SDK he uses is outdated, since the version he is using is no longer available and the new one requires to do everything from the command line (No GUI available). But this is only for the emulation, so it is not needed to be able to follow the course. Apart from that you can tell he knows what he is doing and explains everything clearly.

This course should be watched by anybody who is new to app dev and wants to begin hybrid app def. You will need all of this information at one point and this is the best source to get the information from. Very clear and down to the point. Does not go deep into actual UI designing which shouldn't be too hard to get started without.

Had a Phonegap app developed by a former employee and didn't know where to start in updating it. This course took me through all the important knowledge a seasoned web developer would need to get cracking!

This is good course covered almost all topics for PhoneGap, with good examples. Hald star is less as I was expecting Create your own Custom Plugin as well in this course. Also it will be good if you can cover PushPlugin Example as well.

Very clear so far. However I had an issue installing the phone gap module for node js. This took some time to resolve.
