I’m proud to present a series of seven video tutorials that teach how to build PhoneGap applications connected to Force.com (Salesforce). It is over an hour of content that goes step-by-step from project set up to packaging of applications ready for multiple platforms.

This is especially useful when you are doing iOS development and you don’t have access to a Mac machine and Xcode. The same thing also applies if you would want to publish your app to Windows Phone devices and you are not a PC gal or guy 😉
