In this Ask A Dev, web developer DJ Karasek reassures us that, despite some limitations, you can provide users with a native app experience through a hybrid application.
Karasek begins by explaining the most important step of the process -- knowing exactly what a hybrid app is. This segues nicely into an explanation of Cordova, the popular framework many developers use when building hybrid apps. Lastly, Karasek touches on the pros and cons of hybrid applications, leaving us with a clear understanding of when developers should go native and when they should go hybrid. If you're building a multi-platfrom app, you should definitely watch this.
