This book is good...however, despite the name is not meant for beginners but for people with previous experience on PhoneGap. It comes with many goodies and how to use GeoLocation, JavaScript Compression, Web DB and PhoneGap Plug-Ins.

I giving it 3 starts mainly because the examples are used to achieve certain things instead of being end-to-end examples...so no "complete application for scratch"...

Still...it's a good book for people that haven't moved to PhoneGap 3...as there many cool things to discover...

I've had a quick read of this so far and it seems to have a wealth of information I'll need for deploying hybrid Oracle APEX applications.
