Video description

In this Creating Mobile Apps with HTML5 training course, expert author Jason Gonzalez takes you through the process of creating a mobile app using HTML5 from start to finish. This course is designed for users that already have a fundamental understanding of HTML and CSS.
You will start with an introduction to the project app you'll be creating, learning how to make a wireframe and covering HTML5 features. You will then learn how to construct a skeleton app, including making the list, adding new items and details, and cleaning up the layout. Jason will show you how to use LocalStorage, set up Handlebars to make templates, and work in the detail view. This video tutorial also covers how to add and edit items, use the camera, detect network status, and add Geolocation. Finally, you will learn how to implement speech recognition into your app.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of creating your own mobile app with HTML5. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
