How To Design Table In Apache Cordova App Using Visual Studio

Introduction

Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) is a popular mobile application development framework. Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. Cordova is a platform, which is used to build mobile apps, using HTML, CSS and JS. We can think of Cordova as a container to connect our Web app with the native mobile functionalities.
