Web and mobile app development has recently taken the work by a storm, using frameworks and libraries helps you, the developer, focus on creating rather than figuring stuff out. using frameworks and libraries helps cut out the repetitive code writing and leaves you to focus on the creative side of the development.I found some web and mobile frameworks online, which can help you build mobile applications using your web development skills such as JavaScript, html and CSS, to develop native mobile apps, without you having to learn any new language.
PhoneGap

The-M-Project is another solid JavaScript framework that takes advantage of new HTML5 features for easier and better mobile app development.
The framework follows the popular model-view-controller (MVC) software architecture pattern, which is a huge selling point for many developers. It has offline support so that users can continue working without an Internet connection (they can then sync up to the server next time they’re online) and excellent documentation (the project has a Getting Started guide for new users of the project).To witness The-M-Project in action, check out their showcase , which includes items like the ToDo App and KitchenSink (a showcase of all the UI elements included in the framework).
