Design Windows Phone Mango Applications with HTML5 and JavaScript

Microsoft together with Nitobi announced the availability of a beta version of PhoneGap with support for Windows Phone Mango.

PhoneGap is an open source platform from Nitobi that will allow you to develop applications for multiple mobile platforms using standard web technologies. See the list of currently available platforms on Github: http://github.com/phonegap


For example, web developers can use their knowledge of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to develop applications for Windows Phone.

To build PhoneGap applications for Windows Phone, you need to install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 RC: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started. If you do not have development tools, their free version will be automatically installed during the deployment process.

After that, you need to download PhoneGap as a zip file from the repository on Github:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-wp7 and unzip it to your disk.

Next, you need to copy the GapAppStarter.zip file (in the root) to the Visual Studio project template directory:
\ My Documents \ Visual Studio 2010 \ Templates \ ProjectTemplates \

Let's start creating our first application on PhoneGap.

Launch Visual Studio and select the GapAppStarter project type: Let's name the



project something in our own way and click OK.

In the created solution, add the framework \ WP7GapClassLib.csproj project from the downloaded from Github, after which we add a reference to it in the main project.

We collect and launch our first application (F5) on PhoneGap.
