Summary
In this introductory chapter we covered a lot. We got a quick overview of what, as a framework, PhoneGap is and is not. Before we start to do any real work with PhoneGap, we need to have installed all the required tools that we covered in this chapter in detail, for all three major platforms.
After finishing this chapter, you should have a fully functional setup to start developing PhoneGap applications on your favorite operating system.
In the next chapter, we will cover the support for different platforms and the features that each platform supports. We will come to understand what PhoneGap Build is and how to test usability on native devices.
