sync framework

PhoneGap is a growing and leading open-source mobile web apps development framework that lets developers build JavaScript and HTML5-based web applications with native wrappers for more than six mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. This framework lets you build HTML- and JavaScript-based apps and still take advantage of native mobile device capabilities like camera, localStorage, geolocation, storage and much more, irrespective of the mobile platform you target. It also lets you use more specialized JavaScript frameworks like jQuery Mobile and more.

Beginning PhoneGap is a definitive, one-of-a-kind book that teaches the fundamentals and strategies behind cross-platform mobile application development. Instead of learning languages like Objective-C, focus on building apps from day one for Android, iOS, Blackberry, WebOS and Symbian—without the complexities of these platforms.

This book shows how to build apps like the ones on Facebook and Twitter, and add cool features—like uploading photos straight onto Facebook or syncing contacts. Store Facebook wallpaper and Twitter tweets for online access. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to extend PhoneGap’s functionality by using PhoneGap plugins to write apps like Dropbox (syncing files in the background outside HTML/JavaScript code and in native code).

By the time you finish Beginning PhoneGap, you’ll know PhoneGap inside and out, and, consequently, be able to develop mobile web apps faster and more efficiently than ever before. Make more money in less time!

The Sync Framework is an extension addition to Microsoft’s .NET 3.5 Framework to improve its ability deal with occasionally connected applications, such as those on mobile devices such as smart phones and laptop computers that do not have a single reliable means of connecting to their data sources. The Sync framework allows such applications to operate smoothly both online and offline, connecting to data in a wide variety of different ways (networked, wireless, cell-phone data protocols, etc.).

This book gives readers everything they need to start implementing Sync coding strategies within their own applications. It takes a hands-on practical approach to ensure readers are able to apply their skills practically and concludes with a worked case-study chapter to reinforce this point.
