Useful articles for getting started with Apache Cordova

After starting to use the Ionic framework, I thought understanding Apache Cordova was also necessary, so I read through many Cordova articles and will introduce some recommended ones.

The first is a CodeZine article. It clearly explains the differences between Titanium Mobile (which was popular a few years ago) and Cordova-based PhoneGap and Ionic framework. I recommend starting with this article.

The second is an HTML5Experts.jp article. It introduces the latest situation and basics of Cordova.

After that, when you run into problems during development, you’ll likely rely on Stack Overflow and Qiita articles.

Finally, it goes without saying, but there’s the official Cordova documentation. The Japanese documentation is also comprehensive, so I think it’s good to first read the official documentation, and then search Stack Overflow or Qiita if you still don’t understand.

I’ll update this as I find more Cordova reference articles.

That’s all from the Gemba.
