technologies used for mobile app

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

A very very basic question:

I do not have any experience on mobile apps, but the next project I am going to work on is a mobile app using something called phonegap and html5. I know that we can develop native apps for android or ios using their api but I was wondering how to develop a web app for mobile?
I mean what technology would be used with html, what would be the backend. Like when I develop web application for pc I use Java and SQL as backend and html JavaScript for frontend, same way what technologies are used when a webapp is developed for mobile.
** Mobile web app means mobile application developed using web technologies and which would be installed on mobile devices.

Edit
What I am looking for is that how we can develop a installable native web app for mobile devices and what technology would be used for which part like what would be frontend, what would be backend etc..
