##Development Environment

Visual Studio 2013

Cordova archives can be downloaded from http://archive.apache.org/dist/cordova/.

cordova-3.4.0-src.zip contains a second zip file for windows phone 8 \cordova-3.4.0\cordova-wp8.zip. Unzip it and execute \cordova-wp8\createTemplates.bat. This creates CordovaWP7_3_4_0.zip and CordovaWP8_3_4_0.zip in the same directory.

Copy CordovaWP8_3_4_0.zip to \My Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# (Yep, Visual C#).

Launch Visual Studio 2013 and create a new project.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the project directory inside the solution directory. The project directory contains config.xml and the www directory. Launch teh following command to install plugins.

>plugman install --plugin org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser --platform wp8 --project .
Fetching plugin "org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" via plugin registry
Installing "org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" for wp8

Copy your html, js and css files in the www directory and you are good to go.
