Question for all of you. I'm new to Dreamweaver, and I'm interested in possibly putting together an App. My ideas haven't come together completely as of yet as to what I want to do, but I'd like to hear from all of you what your advice may be for a complete newb.

Any blogs or tutorials that you have found useful?

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

A web app?  Or an app for a particular mobile device like iOS, Android or Windows Phone?

How good are you with HTML, CSS & JavaScript coding?

The PhoneGap web site has help for compiling mobile device apps.

Sorry, should have been more specific. The app would be applicable to a mobile device.

If you are building device specific apps, then Nancy's recommendation of using Phonegap is probably the easiest solution. It is not a visual app creator though, and a good working knowledge of JavaScript is essential.

It may also be worth asking yourself why you wish to create device specific apps, as almost all the reasons for doing so are no longer applicable. It is possible now to do everything, (except access the users 'Contacts') in the web browser, of course if you wish to charge for the 'app' then device specific is the easiest way to do so, as people are more willing to pay for a device specific app, than they are for a service offered through a browser.
