Mobile App Deployment Development Tools

Hi All,

This is related to my Tethys experience and as I was going towards mobile deployment I ran across two interesting resources that might be of interest to some of you.

1. Cordova -- It is an opensource wrapper that will take a web application and wrap it for iOS, android or windows based on your mobile deployment preference. Why would you want to do this? If you want to have an app you can download in an app store, specifically Apple, this is where this is enticing so that you don't have to learn native app languages and only focus on one form of development. Why else? Running on native apps, this can use local hardware and software events such as gps, camera, accelerometer, and other local items in your app interface.

2. Gentelella - An MIT open source dashboard template that is responsive for mobile apps and has a large variety of widgets and styles for ideas. Though this does use it's own JavaScript libraries and not gizmos, it wouldn't be difficult to use the html and css from this dashboard and transpose a gizmo into the styles. I'm using this mostly for styling help for my responsive apps and thought it would be a good resource to share.
