Shawn Cheeks writes:
During my internship last year with Unidata, I developed
an Android version of a netCDF Subset Service form. Coming
back this year, I wanted to expand my endeavors in mobile
development by writing an application that works on all
mobile platforms. To do this, I decided to use Apache
Cordova because it takes a JavaScript/HTML file and packages
it as a native application for any mobile platform. The
product of choice this year was Unidata's radar data as it
seemed to be a product well suited for mobile users.
