PhoneGap API Documentation Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platforms' native development language. Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device's sensors, data, and network status. Apache Cordova graduated in October 2012 as a top level project within the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Through the ASF, future Cordova development will ensure open stewardship of the project. It will always remain free and open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Apple’s iOS7 Native JavaScript Bridge A Brief History of JavaScript Bridges in Mobile In 2009 Appcelerator’s Titanium 0.8 Version changed from a ‘Hybrid web container’ based approach similar to Phone Gap / Cordova to full ‘Native binding’. The change required Titanium developers to re-architect their code and remove HTML as the top-level implementation. Developers wrote their apps in pure JavaScript. The value to developers and Appcelerator is Titanium JavaScript applications running on iOS (and eventually Android) could get nearly all of the benefits of applications written in native Objective-C without having to learn Objective-C.
Ask Ars: Why are some programming languages faster than others? In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the big reasons that Fortran remains important is because it's fast: number crunching routines written in Fortran tend to be quicker than equivalent routines written in most other languages. The languages that are competing with Fortran in this space—C and C++—are used because they're competitive with this performance.
