Useful tools for Multi-Platform Mobile Application Development
Today, it has become easy for developers to develop desktop applications. Developers are provided with 3 OS platforms: Windows, Linux and Mac OS to choose from and there are often ways to make the software written on one platform run on others. Presently technology is a fast business and the great thing today, might not be a great thing tomorrow.

Phone-Gap offers online training courses to the developers to help them in accessing native API’s.
Whoop
This is a perfect app for non-developers. This tool helps the non-developers to develop mobile applications by dragging and dropping mobile elements.
