Fellow Adobe evangelist Christophe Coenraets recently posted a three part article on building a CRUD application using HTML and the Backbone.js framework. He has now followed it up with a post on building a mobile app using Backbone.js And PhoneGap.
In this version, the application gets the data from RESTful services hosted on my server. In my next post, I will provide another version of the application that gets the data using a local database on your device. --Christophe Conraets
Download the code
You can find the source code for Christophe's application at the backbone-cellar GitHub repository or you can download the zip file here. Also, he provided project files for Android and iOS:

HTML5 is the most dramatic step in the evolution of web standards. It incorporates features such as geolocation, video playback and drag-and-drop. HTML5 allows developers to create rich internet applications without the need for third party APIs and browser plug-ins. Under the banner of HTML5, modern web standards such as CSS3, SVG, XHR2, WebSockets, IndexedDB, and AppCache are pushing the boundaries for what a browser can achieve using web standards. This Microzone is supported by Microsoft, and it will delve into the intricacies of using these new web technologies and teach you how to make your websites compatible with all of the modern browsers.
