Session 1: In today’s demo I will address some of the questions from last week. This may include one or more of the following topics
1. Image Capture
2. Server Side Functions with PhoneGap (using AJAX)
3. Saving In-App Progress or Preferences (Local Storage)
4. Share Buttons
5. Push notifications
Here’s a few links to related resources.

Session 2: I will not be in class today. Please use the class period as studio time and be prepared to share your findings next week. Thanks!
This is a nice reference for options other than phonegap.
