I want to start looking into Phonegap for deploying iOS and Android apps. I was wondering if there are any good Phonegap tutorials except for the basic "Hello" stuff.

I found the PhoneGap documentation to be pretty helpful (and I'm usually not a documentation kind of learner). They're not so much full apps, but show how you can target specific aspects of the device (camera, GPS, etc).

Also - not sure if you're looking for something like this, but I found Jonathan Stark's Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript immensely helpful. It's not heavy on PhoneGap, but focuses more on using jQuery/jQTouch to develop your app (with PhoneGap being the final method for deployment). More of a step-by-step walkthrough of an app, start to finish.

Keep in mind PhoneGap just basically gives you hooks into your device. If you're talking about learning how to build for iPhone/Droid using HTML/CSS... Stark's (oneline, free) book is a good resource. It was for me, anyhow...

    No prob. If either my response or Matt's fit what you were looking for... feel free to check it as your accepted answer. Upvoting works as well (though I think you need your reputation to be at 15 before you can do so). These actions help "recognize" others, and increases the respondents' reputation. And, in turn, this sort of feedback provides incentive for others to contribute solutions/answers. Though looking at Matt's reputation... I think he's got me beaten by a coupla points. – avoision Apr 05 '11 at 14:28
  • Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is Nice tutortial – rakeshNS Jul 10 '12 at 18:12
  • @avoision, Is this the correct url of "Stark's (oneline, free) book": http://ebookbrowsee.net/multi-platform-development-with-phonegap-notes-pdf-d438890038? – bschandramohan Apr 08 '14 at 04:08
  • Chandra, that does not look correct. Try the author's site, here: http://jonathanstark.com/iphone-book – avoision Apr 14 '14 at 12:19

There are a ton of tutorials as well as code snippets and Getting Started guides on the PhoneGap Wiki.

    There are lots of tutorials, but none that seem to go far beyond showing how to setup a project in a given environment, which seems to be what Brad is asking for. – Tony Lenzi Nov 16 '11 at 19:09

This example is very heavy, but there is good information in it, such as submitting a form and displaying things with jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap. After hours of searching, this tutorial has my solutions.

There is a pretty exhaustive (exhausting?) tutorial on our site showing you how to integrate Sencha Touch with PhoneGap, but it should generalize to any web app.

If you want to go a bit more native on iOS development I suggest you to check out a tutorial I did about NativeControls on my site: How To Setup And Use NativeControls In PhoneGap
