Configuring PhoneGap for cross-platform mobile development on Mac OS X Mavericks

One of my professional goals for this year is to publish a mobile app for at least one Panoptic Development client. I’ve been researching different cross-platform mobile development frameworks to see how they would fit various project leads, and a couple weeks ago I decided to give PhoneGap a try. It wasn’t as straight forward a process as their documentation would have one believe, so when I finally had it up and running I posted my own documentation on the Panoptic Blog.

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm.
When meeting with a sudden shower, you try
not to get wet and run quickly along the road.
By doing such things as passing under the eaves
of houses, you still get wet. When you are
resolved from the beginning, you will not be
perplexed, though you will still get the same
soaking. This understanding extends to all things.
