Cordova on Github

Apache Cordova or what was called previously Apache Callback or PhoneGap. More specifically, It is a framework which is classified as an open source project. It allows users to create several applications for different platforms (As for Android and IOS....).

Applications developed thanks to this tool are hybrid, that is mean that they are not really native, neither based on HTML language or such an equivalent one.

In chronological order, this is my seventeenth contribution to the project Cordova, but in terms of difficulty, this contribution’s technicality is more apparent. More and more terms require further research and very often the only reliable equivalent is the term itself (More details in the next section). Some are even misleading due to their wide range of usage, and in this type of situations, only the context comes in handy in order to take the right decision.

My research led me to choose what I saw would fit in the correct context imposed by the project’s specifications. Some examples are as follows :

Viewport:

The viewport is the user's visible area of a web page. The viewport varies with the device and will be smaller on a mobile phone than on a computer screen. Before tablets and mobile phones, web pages were designed only for computer screens, and it was common for web pages to have a static design and a fixed size.

Unpaginated:

In computing, paginating is to create pages, as with a word-processing program. The term “unpaginated” may be translated to many versions in French, but keeping the English term in this case since it is a universal parameter to be declared by default in code.
