I built this tutorial to serve as a guide to creating a hybrid mobile application combining both native iOS controls and Cordova/PhoneGap components to leverage the best of both worlds as an alternative to picking one over the other. Developers may choose to do this if they want to use specific native UI features but still code the bulk of their business logic in JavaScript or reuse existing JavaScript logic by embedding it as a Cordova component while maintaining the rest of the native scaffolding. There are also benefits to using this approach in making an application feel more native.

Here are 8 fantastic projects to train your coding muscles! The goal is to build each app with whatever technology stack you prefer. Keep it conflict free, use whatever you want!
