LOL. This made me laugh... Sorry, but what? I know, I know you want to build mobile applications in FoxPro. Well, it isn't going to happen... So as Craig says you're going to have to learn something new and make a choice on what to learn - whether you like it or not.

I've had some good experiences with Cordova - but you will definitely have to know HTML and you are going to have to know it reasonably well. Wrote a blog post about some of the experience with it here:

http://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2015/Jan/06/Using-Cordova-and-Visual-Studio-to-build-iOS-Mobile-Apps

This doesn't talk about the HTML aspect just the semantics of getting an HTML app to run on Cordova. Creating an HTML interface capable of effectively working on a mobile platform is definitely not a trivial undertaking and definitely with the attitude of 'I don't like it'...

Xamarin still requires some amount of local platform stuff, it's not Xaml except the rather limited Xamarin forms. You can also create mobile apps natively or use other high level tools like Llanja, but regardless of what you choose it's all fairly complex and requires learning a bunch of new concepts, languages and layout mechanisms.

Mobile development is complex... choose what you think will work for you. Personally I prefer HTML5/CSS/JavaScript because it's at least useful for more than mobile apps.

>I see there is two main way if I want to develop multi-OS apps with VS C# + Xamarin + XAML or JS + Cordova (or Cordova's child Phonegap) HTML5. I read a lot of articles all of them says which you know select it. It not fits with my situation. I don't know both of them. I don't like C# syntax. There are a lot of symbols. I remember I read a C# book years ago sample there was a usage like < T > . I don't like this. I prefer words. Also I don't like call sub-routines like web site. Also I don like either XAML or HTML5... :)

>Anyway, most important thing is not what I like. What is better for me; which is eaiser, which is better. C#? JS? Xamarin? Cordova? XAML? HTML5? I want to develop both Windows, Android and IOS at VS. I don't think Windows Mobile at this time. Because Windows Mobile 8 is not popular for handheld devices at Turkey, Windows CE and Android are popular. I know IOS devices are not handheld devices buth however they use iPads for our business type (mostly POS and Restaurant POS).
