Hybrid App platform & technology

Question

I'm a full stack developer with PHP, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, Jquery, Angular and with enthusiast to lear any new technology.
Now i got a hybrid mobile app project(simpler with few curd operations and web services) and plus it will be web app as well, which i need to deliver as soon as possible. So my question is to choosing the right tool for the right job.
Hybrid App can be build with

• Platform: Phonegap or cordova, where cordova is extension of phonegap as per my understanding.
• Technologies: Plain html/css/jquery mobile or using some of the framework like ionic with angular.

So i want to know which tools and technology for building a hybrid app are preferable good and easy to learn faster.

Answer 1

I'm actually in traineeship and I just learn Hybrid apps in like 1 week and i'm only in my second year of computer science degree so I guess that won't be hard for you.

First of all, if you want a "light" and complete solution you can use Cordova . Documentation is good and you have a bunch of easy understandable exemple.
If I have to leave a malus, I encountered some installation problems.

You can also check Crosswalk which is really fast to take in charge ( I did a 100% hybrid app with that in 2 days with both interactions ).

I didn't try it yet but I also heard positive things about Ionic but I can't really help you there.

Hope that help you :)

Answer 2

if you dont know AngularJS the best way is trying Phonegap .

Ionic is really awesome but you need skills in AngularJS.

Answer 3

If you are new to the Hybrid application, then use the INTEL XDK for developing your application. Download the SDK and create a new project and you can edit the index.html page in the www folder. After completing the coding, you can build your android/ios/windows/chrome/web application by selecting the build tab and provide certificates and build with just click start building. Hope this helps you

Answer 4

You can build Hybrid mobile apps using a phonegap,Cordova,IBM mobilefirst, IONIc.

I prefer IONIc. This is real good and amazing. Everything is built in, including UI,Plugins to access native functions.

You can use IONIC 2 and Angular 2.
