Chapter 1. Instant PhoneGap Social App Development

Welcome to PhoneGap social app development. Social networking has changed the way we share information in our world. Where it used to be an e-mail to a friend (or even a letter!), now it's a tweet or a Facebook post, often for the world to see. What's even more amazing is how relatively young the various social networks are and how quickly they have changed the way we communicate and consume information. Because of this transformation, our apps need to support sharing to social networks, lest our app appear dated.

Tip

You'll often see the word Cordova in our code examples in this book. PhoneGap was recently acquired by Adobe and the underlying code was given to the Apache Incubator project. This project is named Cordova, and PhoneGap utilizes it to provide its various services. So if you see Cordova, it really means the same thing for now.
