So I am planning on developing an app using PhoneGap.
I will also be learning jQuery as I go so just wondering is it possible to develop the guts of the app outside the PhoneGap environment i.e. Notepad + Browser?
Most of the app just consists of UI and Ajax calls to an API. I am thinking it would be easier to develop and debug outside DG.
I am worried that I will need to patch loads of my code to get it working in PG, or is it just a case of dropping it in with minimal changes?
Yes, you should build as much of the application in the web browser first before you wrap it up in a native app using PhoneGap. Certainly it is easier to debug the HTML using Chrome/Safari web developer tools. When you eventually do wrap it into a native application you can use Weinre to debug your app remotely.
Also, check out the jQuery Mobile docs on how to setup your AJAX connection to work around the CORS restrictions.
