HOWTO: Native iPhone/iPad apps in JavaScript

This guide demonstrates how to build full-featured iOS apps using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS—complete with native-feeling interactions like gestures and touch events, offline caching, home screen icons, and splash screens. The author explains specific techniques for removing browser chrome, preventing unwanted scrolling and zooming behaviors, and styling elements to match iOS design conventions, then walks through bundling the web app as a native Objective-C app for App Store distribution. The post includes practical examples like a gesture-controlled graph navigator and a medical logging application that syncs with a backend database.

The Easiest Way to Build your First iPhone App | Nettuts+

PhoneGap allows developers to build native iPhone apps using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) rather than Objective-C, by wrapping web code in an embedded Safari view and mapping native iPhone features like GPS and camera to JavaScript APIs. This tutorial demonstrates creating a mobile web app with native iPhone styling using the jQTouch framework, then compiling it into a distributable iTunes App Store application through PhoneGap and XCode. The example builds a simple app displaying a Tumblr feed with screen transitions, showing how minimal setup is needed to go from web app to native iPhone application ready for App Store submission.
