Comment on Ask HN: As a web developer, should I learn mobile development?

Comments

I've been building hybrid apps (HTML/CSS/Javascript) for quite some time now. It's getting better and better, and there are quite a few resources available.

Just follow these simple steps:

- Get Apache Cordova (https://cordova.apache.org/)

- Try Ionic Framework (http://ionicframework.com/)

- Try Ratchet (http://goratchet.com/)

- jQuery Mobile, obviously (http://jquerymobile.com/)

- If you need more help, try Codiqa (https://codiqa.com/)

- Try Trigger.io (http://trigger.io)

Cordova makes it super simple to deploy to app stores, and it's awesome. I make mobile apps all the time. Though not as good as native, it certainly has been improving, especially in the recent years.

Hi, I am basically trying to convert my Photography and clothing website onto an IOS App. I dont mind building it but i seem lost on where to start or how about to do this. What would you recommend?
